Video to GIF Converter

Video to GIF Converter turns any MP4 or WebM clip into an animated GIF entirely inside your browser — no upload, no server roundtrip, no account. Load a video, pick a start point, set how many seconds to capture, choose a frame rate (5–30 fps), and optionally downscale the output width to keep the file size reasonable. The tool seeks through the video frame by frame, draws each frame onto a canvas, and encodes the sequence into a standards-compliant GIF89a file you can download instantly. Converting video to GIF is something content creators, developers, and marketers reach for constantly. A 3-second reaction clip for a Slack message, a looping product demo for a README or landing page, a bug reproduction for a GitHub issue, or a highlight from a screen recording for social media — GIFs embed everywhere without a player and autoplay silently, which is why they remain the lingua franca of short visual communication on the web. Controls give you precise trimming: set the start time in seconds, the clip duration, and the frame rate independently. Lowering the output width (e.g., 480px) dramatically reduces file size, which matters for email attachments and chat embeds with strict size limits. A live preview shows the first extracted frame so you can confirm the start point before encoding the full sequence. Every byte of decoding, frame extraction, and GIF encoding runs through the browser's native HTML5 video decoder, Canvas API, and a self-contained JavaScript LZW encoder. The video file never leaves your device, which matters for confidential screen recordings or unreleased product footage.
