What people use Video to GIF for
GIFs are still the easiest way to share a short looping clip in places where a full video player feels like overkill.
Reaction GIFs from your own clips
Turn a few seconds of a phone video into a looping reaction for Slack, Discord, or iMessage without hunting through Giphy.
Bug reports and product demos
Record a screen capture, trim the boring bits, and ship a small GIF in your Jira ticket, GitHub issue, or Notion doc so reviewers do not need to download a video.
Tutorials and how-to snippets
Pull a 10 to 20 second clip out of a longer tutorial and drop it into a blog post, README, or knowledge-base article. GIFs autoplay everywhere video players do not.
Social posts that need to loop
Twitter, Reddit, and Tumblr still treat short looping GIFs as first-class. Convert a phone clip into a GIF that plays automatically in the feed.
How it works
Three steps, usually under 10 seconds start to finish.
Upload your video
Drop in an MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI, M4V, 3GP, FLV or WMV file up to 200 MB. iPhone .mov clips, screen recordings, and phone videos all work.
Set the trim, frame rate, and width
Pick a start time, how many seconds to grab (up to 30), how smooth you want it (10 to 30 fps), and how wide the GIF should be (240 to 720 pixels). The defaults work fine for most clips.
Download your GIF
You get a ready-to-share .gif back, usually in a few seconds. Drop it straight into Slack, Discord, a Notion doc, or a tweet. Links are good for 30 minutes.
Frequently asked questions
Why is there a 30 second cap?
GIF is an old format that stores every frame as a full image, so file sizes balloon fast. Capping at 30 seconds keeps the GIF small enough to share over chat apps and embed on web pages without timing out the upload. Anything longer should really stay as a video.
Which video formats can I convert?
MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI, M4V, 3GP, FLV, and WMV up to 200 MB. iPhone .mov, Android .mp4, GoPro, drone footage, and screen recordings from QuickTime, OBS, or Loom all work.
How do I keep the GIF file size small?
Lower the frame rate (10 or 12 fps still looks fine for most clips), drop the width to 320 or 360 pixels, and trim the duration. A 10 second 320px 12 fps GIF is usually under 2 MB.
Will the GIF loop automatically?
Yes. The output is a standard infinite-loop GIF, so it plays continuously in browsers, chat apps, and document tools without any extra setup.
Can I convert a video to GIF on my phone?
Yes. It runs in any modern mobile browser on iPhone, iPad, and Android. Pick a clip from your camera roll, set the trim and size, and the GIF saves straight back to your device.
Is it free? Any watermark?
It's completely free. No signup, no software to install, and no watermark on the GIF.
