Convert MP4, MOV, WebM, and other video files to animated GIF online.
or drop, paste, or choose from cloud
The video to GIF converter turns any video clip into an animated GIF. Upload an MP4, MOV, WebM, AVI, MKV, FLV, WMV, MPG, or OGG file from your device, cloud storage, or paste a URL. The tool processes the video and outputs a looping GIF image.
Animated GIFs play automatically without a video player. The converted GIF loops continuously and works on every browser, messaging app, and social media platform. No codec or plugin is needed to view the result.
Batch processing is supported. Upload multiple video clips and convert them to GIF at once. Each file is processed independently with its own settings.
The quality setting uses a Constant Rate Factor (CRF) scale from 0 to 51. A lower CRF value produces a higher-quality GIF with a larger file size. A higher CRF value reduces quality but creates a smaller file. The default value of 23 is a balanced starting point for most use cases.
Set the framerate from 1 to 120 FPS. A higher framerate produces smoother animation but increases file size. Leave the framerate on auto to keep the original video framerate. For social media GIFs, 10 to 15 FPS is often enough.
Adjust the output resolution by setting a custom width and height. The converter maintains the aspect ratio when you change one dimension. Leave both fields empty to keep the original video resolution.
Fine-tune every detail of the animated GIF output.
Scale from 0 to 51. Lower values produce sharper GIFs with larger files.
Set 1 to 120 FPS. Higher values give smoother animation.
Set custom width and height. Leave empty to keep original size.
Animated GIFs loop automatically without a play button. A video requires a player and must be restarted manually, but a GIF repeats the scene continuously. This makes GIFs the preferred format for reaction images, memes, and short tutorials.
GIFs work in places where video files are not supported. Use them as forum avatars, email signatures, blog illustrations, or chat stickers. Most platforms display GIFs inline without a separate video player.
The GIF format is supported by every modern browser and device. No codec or plugin is needed. Upload a GIF to any website or messaging app and it plays instantly.
