Turn a video clip into a GIF without uploading it anywhere — the conversion runs on your device using FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. Trim to the exact seconds you need, then balance smoothness against file size with the frame-rate and width controls; 12 fps at 480 px is a good starting point for most clips.
GIFs grow quickly: every extra second and pixel multiplies the size. For sharing on platforms that support video, the GIF to MP4 tool produces files 5–10× smaller.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my GIF so large?
GIF is a 30-year-old format that stores every frame as a full image with a 256-color palette. Lower the frame rate, reduce the width, or trim the clip length — each roughly halves the size. If the destination supports video, MP4 is dramatically smaller.
What video formats can I convert?
Anything FFmpeg can read: MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI, MKV and more. Files up to 200 MB are supported — the limit is your browser's memory, since everything runs locally.
Why does conversion take a while?
FFmpeg runs in WebAssembly inside your browser, which is slower than a native app — roughly real-time for typical clips. The trade-off is privacy: your video never leaves your device.
