Choose the GIF settings (current step)
A larger width and frame rate give a sharper, smoother GIF and a larger file. A video narrower than the chosen width keeps its own width and is not enlarged.

Reads MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV and other videos. The file must not be more than 4 GB.
Make and download
After you upload a video and select a clip, the GIF can be made here.
How to use
- In step 1, choose the width and frame rate.
- In step 2, upload a video. Play to the start of the clip and select “Set as start”, then play to its end and select “Set as end”.
- In step 3, select “Make GIF”, check the preview and download it.
Notes
- Each GIF frame can hold at most 256 colours, so smooth colour gradients show visible bands. The larger the width and frame rate, the larger the file.
- A GIF contains no sound. A video narrower than the chosen width keeps its own width and is not enlarged.
- The longer the clip and the more the picture changes, the larger the file. The actual size is shown once the GIF is made.
Questions and answers
- What should I do if the GIF is too large?
- Please shorten the clip, or choose a smaller width or a lower frame rate, and make the GIF again.
- Can I use only a section from the middle of the video?
- Yes. Play to the start of the section and select “Set as start”, then play to its end and select “Set as end”. You can also enter the times directly.
