How to convert a video to GIF — 4 steps

  1. Upload your video: drag and drop or select an MP4, MOV or WEBM file.
  2. Trim the clip: set a start time and duration so only the moment you want becomes the GIF.
  3. Set quality: pick the frame rate (5–30 FPS) and width (240–1080px) to balance smoothness against file size.
  4. Convert & download: generate the GIF and save it instantly — no watermark, no signup.

Uploaded files are automatically removed after 5 minutes.
