How to turn a video into an animated GIF
A short GIF is perfect for reactions, demos and previews. This guide turns a clip into a lightweight GIF entirely in your browser.
Steps
- Open the video-to-GIF tool and drop in your video file.
- Set the start time and a short duration — a few seconds works best.
- Choose a frame rate (10–15 fps is smooth) and an output width.
- Create the GIF and wait for it to render.
- Preview and download your animated GIF.
Tips
- Keep clips short and the width modest to avoid huge files.
- Lower frame rates produce smaller GIFs with little visible difference.
