Why is my GIF file so large?

GIFs don't compress as efficiently as video. Lower the frame rate or width before converting to keep the file size down.

Can I trim the video clip before converting?

Yes, set a start and end time so only the portion you want becomes the GIF.

Can I control the GIF's frame rate?

Yes, lower the frame rate to reduce file size, or raise it for smoother motion.

Does Video to GIF upload my files to a server?

No. Video to GIF runs entirely in your browser using on-device processing, your files never leave your device.

Choose File

Runs entirely in your browser using an on-device video engine. Longer clips and higher frame rates produce larger GIF files. The engine downloads on first use, then it's cached.

About this tool
