Video to GIF
Convert video clips to high-quality GIFs with precise frame control.
Higher FPS means smoother motion and larger file size.
Capture every N seconds (overrides FPS when set).
JPG speeds up extraction; PNG is larger but lossless.
Default 960. Lower values reduce memory usage.
If width/height are empty, scale down to the max width to avoid memory issues.
Fast seek jumps to the nearest keyframe for much faster extraction.
Generate GIF inside FFmpeg to avoid keeping hundreds of frames in memory.
Combine the manually captured frames into a GIF using the current fps/interval settings.
Video to GIF Converter - A feature-rich online tool for turning video clips into lightweight animated GIFs directly in your browser with local processing (no uploads). Trim with precise timecodes, set start/end points, choose FPS or interval capture, adjust quality and loop count, and resize with an aspect-ratio lock. Capture frames manually, reorder them, batch-apply delays, switch JPG/PNG extraction, enable fast seek for speed, auto-scale to a max width for memory safety, or generate GIFs directly in FFmpeg to reduce memory usage.
What you can do
- Precise trimming with timecode input and clip preview
- Frame control with FPS or interval-based capture
- Quality tuning for size vs. fidelity balance
- Loop settings to control GIF playback behavior
- Resize options with width/height and aspect lock
- Manual frame capture for key moments and highlights
- Frame management: select, reorder, delete, and batch delay
- Format choice: JPG for speed, PNG for lossless quality
- Fast seek to jump keyframes and speed extraction
- Auto scaling to avoid memory spikes on large videos
- FFmpeg direct encoding to keep memory usage low
How to use
- Upload a video or drag and drop it into the page.
- Set start/end times (or timecode), then preview the segment.
- Choose extraction mode: FPS for smoothness or interval for fewer frames.
- Adjust GIF settings: quality, size, loop count, and frame format.
- Capture frames (optional), reorder or delete, and apply delays.
- Generate & download the GIF when ready.
Tips for best results
- Use lower FPS for smaller files and faster export.
- Set an interval when the motion is simple or repetitive.
- Choose PNG for crisp UI captures and JPG for speed.
- Enable auto scale for high-resolution videos to avoid memory errors.
- Use fast seek for long videos and refine the selection after.
- Prefer FFmpeg direct GIF when working with many frames.
