Make GIFs from videos
GIFs are perfect for reactions, tutorials, product demos and memes because they play automatically everywhere: in chats, emails, forums and documentation. This tool turns any short video clip into an animated GIF without uploading it anywhere.
Tips for small, smooth GIFs
- Keep it short: 2–6 seconds is ideal. Every extra second adds frames and file size.
- Use 10–15 fps: it looks smooth for most clips and keeps files small.
- Reduce the width: 320–480 px is plenty for chats and social media.
- Pick calm footage: fast motion and lots of detail make GIFs much larger because the format is limited to 256 colours per frame.
GIF or video?
For long or high-quality clips, video is far more efficient than GIF. If a platform accepts video, consider keeping it as MP4. Already have a GIF that is too big? Convert it with GIF to MP4.
