Make a looping GIF from a video in a few seconds. Choose how long, how wide and how smooth, and download a GIF that plays everywhere: chats, docs, emails and forums.
How to make a GIF from a video
- Add your video: MP4, MOV or WebM.
- Length: the first 3, 5 or 10 seconds.
- Width: 320, 480 or 640 pixels. Height follows the video's shape.
- Frame rate: 10, 15 or 24 fps.
- Generate and download.
Keeping the file small
| Setting | Smaller file | Smoother GIF |
|---|---|---|
| Length | 3 s | 10 s |
| Width | 320 px | 640 px |
| Frame rate | 10 fps | 24 fps |
A 5-second, 480 px, 15 fps GIF usually lands around 1 MB.
Tips
- Trim the video first so the moment you want is at the start.
- Simple motion on a still background makes the smallest, cleanest GIFs.
- The GIF loops forever, so clips that end where they start look seamless.
