Video to GIF Converter

A video to GIF converter turns a short video clip into an animated GIF. Using ffmpeg.wasm running in your browser, you can set the frame rate and width, then export a shareable GIF — all without uploading your video anywhere. The engine downloads once on first use.

How to Use the Video to GIF Converter

  1. Select a short video clip (a few seconds works best).
  2. Set the frame rate and output width.
  3. Optionally set a start time and duration to trim the clip.
  4. Convert and download your animated GIF.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long can the video be?

Short clips of a few seconds work best. GIFs are large and processing is done on your device, so long videos create huge files and can be slow.

Is my video private?

Yes. Conversion runs locally with ffmpeg.wasm, so the video is never uploaded to a server.

Why is the first conversion slow to start?

The in-browser FFmpeg engine (about 25-30 MB) downloads on first use and is then cached for future conversions.
