Features

Convert popular video formats to high-quality animation with palette optimization
MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI, MKV and OGV are decoded in-browser and rendered to a GIF with a per-clip optimized 256-color palette.
Visual filmstrip timeline — drag handles to select the exact clip range up to 60 seconds
Scrub the thumbnail strip and drag the start/end handles to grab the precise moment, up to a 60-second maximum.
Adjustable frame rate (10–25 FPS) and output width (320–640 px) with Lanczos scaling
Trade smoothness against file size with the FPS control; width resamples via Lanczos and height follows the source aspect ratio.
Three quality presets with Bayer dithering for smooth color gradients
High, Medium and Low presets apply ordered Bayer dithering so skies and skin tones stay smooth in the 256-color GIF.

Frequently Asked Questions

What video formats can I convert to GIF?

MP4, WebM, MOV, and most common video formats supported by FFmpeg. Simply upload your file and the converter handles the rest.

Is there a maximum duration for the GIF?

The maximum is 60 seconds. We recommend 30 seconds or less for optimal file size — longer clips produce very large files that are slow to load and share.

How can I reduce the GIF file size?

Lower the frame rate (10 FPS is often enough), reduce the output width, choose Medium or Low quality, or shorten the clip duration.

What frame rate should I use?

10-15 FPS works well for most GIFs. Use 24-30 FPS for smooth cinematic clips, or 5-8 FPS when file size is the priority.

Can I convert a specific part of a long video?

Yes. Set the start time to skip to the moment you want, then set the duration for the exact clip length. Only that fragment is converted.
