How to use Video to GIF

  1. 01

    Upload or start

    Choose your MP4, WebM or browser-supported MOV. Processing runs on your device; ordinary conversion needs no account.

  2. 02

    Adjust and review

    Watch the video while trimming and cropping. Choose a width, frame rate and optional 1, 2, 5 or 10 MB file-size goal.

  3. 03

    Export and use

    Create the GIF, check its actual size and preview the motion. Download free, or continue editing in GIF Workspace.

What you can start with

MP4, WebM, MOV and other videos when their codec is supported by your browser.

What you can download

Animated GIF without audio.

What it costs

Trimming, cropping, conversion and GIF downloads are free with no watermark or sign-up. Optional AI enhancement and background removal are separate workflows; approve any paid quote before processing.

See pricing details

Before you process

Videos can be up to 500 MB if your browser supports the codec. GIF output is limited to a 960px longest edge and at most 1,200 frames, with lower processing budgets on smaller devices. Review any proposed lower frame rate before converting. No duration is guaranteed on every device.

Get a result you can use

A better first try.

  • Start with 2–6 seconds at 480px and 10–15 fps. Use a square or portrait crop to keep the subject prominent.
  • Choose a file-size goal when your destination has an upload limit. Fitting can reduce width, frame rate and colors; the result shows what changed.
  • Play the finished GIF before downloading. GIF has no audio; keep a video copy when sound matters.

Know before you start

Your questions, answered.

Is VideoToGIFs free, and do I need an account?

The browser converter is free, including trim, crop and download. It adds no watermark and does not require an account. Saving to an account and optional AI workflows are separate.

How do I make a GIF under 1 MB or 5 MB?

Open Size & quality and choose a file-size goal. The converter checks the actual encoded bytes and can lower dimensions, frame rate and colors. If it cannot meet the goal, it says so and lets you trim more or download the current version.

Can I crop while watching the video?

Yes. Choose Original, Square, 16:9, 9:16 or 4:3, then zoom and drag the outlined area over the video. You can scrub the source and use arrow keys to move the crop.

Can I convert an iPhone video?

If your browser supports its codec. MP4 with H.264 video is a useful fallback when a MOV or HEVC recording will not decode. A filename extension alone does not guarantee compatibility.

How long can my GIF be?

The converter shows the selected duration, dimensions and effective frame rate before export. Long or large clips may need fewer frames; you must accept that change or trim the clip. Short clips usually make more practical GIFs.

Does my video leave my device?

Basic video conversion runs locally in your browser. Saving or handing a result to another tool is a separate action, and optional AI tools show their processing and price before approval.

Can I remove the background too?

Yes. After conversion, open the separate Video to Transparent GIF workflow from the export dialog to review removal methods and any price.
