How it works

From video to GIF in three steps

No installs, no account, no upload queue — everything happens on your device.

  1. 1

    Drop your video

    Nothing uploads. Your file is read into the browser’s memory — never sent to a server. Works with MP4, MOV, WEBM, AVI, and MKV.

  2. 2

    Edit live

    Trim, crop, caption, tune FPS and size. The preview updates instantly — no round trip, no waiting in a queue.

  3. 3

    Download

    Your GIF saves straight to your device. No watermark, no account, no server-side copy of your video or your GIF.

Built-in editor

Everything you need to make a good GIF

  • Trim to the moment

    Drag the timeline handles to keep just the part you want — up to 30 seconds.

  • Crop to any shape

    Crop freely or snap to 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3 or 4:5 for the platform you’re posting to.

  • Add a caption

    Bold meme-style text in four sizes and six colours — drag it anywhere on the frame.

  • Dial in size and smoothness

    5–30 fps, widths from 128 px to the original, and a quality slider from smaller to sharper.

  • Slow-mo, speed-up, loops

    Play at 0.25× to 3× speed, and choose to loop forever or play once.

  • Private by design

    FFmpeg runs inside your browser via WebAssembly. Your video is never uploaded anywhere.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Short answers about privacy, limits and formats. The guides go deeper.

Browse the guides
Does my video actually leave my computer?

No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser via ffmpeg.wasm. Your video file is never uploaded to any server — there is no server-side processing involved.

Will there be a watermark on my GIF?

Never. There is no watermark, and no paid version that adds one later.

Can I use these GIFs commercially?

Yes, with no attribution required. Use them in websites, presentations, ads, social media — anywhere.

What is the maximum file size?

Up to 200 MB per video on a computer, or 100 MB on a phone. Since everything runs locally, the real limit is your device’s available memory rather than a server quota.

How long can a GIF be?

Up to 30 seconds. GIFs over 15 seconds tend to produce large files (GIF is an inefficient format from 1989), so keep clips short for easy sharing. Trim with the handles on the timeline.

Which video formats are supported?

MP4, MOV, WEBM, AVI, and MKV — plus M4V, 3GP, MPG, WMV, FLV, OGV, and MTS/M2TS. Common codecs (H.264, H.265/HEVC, VP9, DivX/Xvid, MJPEG) work via the embedded ffmpeg engine — even when your browser can’t play the file itself. AV1 isn’t supported yet.

Why is my GIF file size so large?

GIF is an inefficient format from 1989. To shrink yours: lower the FPS (10–15 is fine for most clips), reduce the width, slide Quality toward Smaller, or turn on Skip duplicate frames in the settings panel.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes, but performance is lower than on desktop. For best results on phones, keep clips under 10 seconds — longer videos may exceed device memory.
