Video to GIF Converter

Turn video clips into GIFs privately in your browser. Free, no upload, no watermark.

How it works

Instant conversion in 3 simple steps

Everything runs locally in your browser. Fast, zero upload wait.

01

Add your file

Drag and drop the source file. It stays in browser memory — we never upload it.

02

Confirm output

GIF is pre-selected. Prefer short clips for smaller file sizes.

03

Download

Download your GIF when local encoding finishes.

About this converter

Frequently asked questions

Is video to GIF free?
Yes. Convert video to GIF online free with no account required.
Do you upload my video?
No. GIF encoding runs in your browser.
Why is my GIF huge?
GIFs are uncompressed frame sequences. Use short clips; long HD videos produce very large files.

Yes — drop an MP4 and keep GIF selected as the output.
