Convert video to GIF online — free

Make a shareable GIF from any video clip — no upload, no watermark, no sign-up. This tool runs the real FFmpeg engine compiled to WebAssembly entirely in your browser, so your footage never leaves your device. You can also convert video to MP4 or WebM, or pull the audio out as an MP3.

How to convert video to GIF

  1. Drop your video above (MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV…).
  2. Keep Video → GIF selected and set FPS, width and max length.
  3. Click convert — preview the GIF and download it.

Why convert in your browser?

Online GIF makers upload your video to a server and often watermark the result or cap the length. Here your video is processed locally with FFmpeg-WASM and never uploaded — private, free and unlimited. (Only the open-source engine itself, ~31MB, loads once from a CDN.)

Tips for smaller, smoother GIFs

GIFs grow fast. Keep clips short (3–8 seconds), drop the width to 320–480px and use 10–12 FPS for a good balance of smoothness and file size. For longer clips, convert to MP4 or WebM instead — they're far smaller and play everywhere.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert a video to a GIF for free?

Drop your video, pick Video → GIF, set the FPS, width and length, and click convert. The GIF is made in your browser and ready to download — free, no sign-up.

Is my video uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly, so your video never leaves your device.

What formats can it convert?

Video to GIF, plus convert to MP4 or WebM, and extract the audio as MP3. It reads MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV and more.

Why does the first conversion take a moment?

The FFmpeg engine (~31MB) loads once on first use, then it's cached for instant conversions afterwards. Long videos take longer to process.

Is there a file size limit?

No hard limit, but very large videos use a lot of memory. For GIFs, keep clips short (a few seconds) for the best file size.
