Convert Video to GIF in Your Browser
Make a GIF from any video clip without uploading it. Choose the exact section, frame rate and size, and the GIF is rendered on your own device using FFmpeg — with no watermark.
Drop in a video, set the start time, length, frame rate and width, and the tool renders a GIF entirely in your browser using FFmpeg (WebAssembly) with a two-pass palette for clean colors. Nothing is uploaded — only the FFmpeg engine downloads once. Keep the clip short and the width modest, because GIFs grow large quickly.

How to make a good GIF
GIFs get big fast, so keep the clip short (a few seconds), the frame rate moderate (10–15 fps is plenty for most loops), and the width modest (320–480px). This tool uses a two-pass palette so colors stay clean instead of the banded look many quick converters produce.
Everything runs on your device using a WebAssembly build of FFmpeg — the video is never uploaded, and there's no watermark.
Why convert in your browser
Most online video-to-GIF sites upload your clip to a server and stamp a watermark on the result. Here the clip never leaves your device and the GIF is clean. The engine (~30 MB) downloads once and is then cached.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. The GIF is rendered in your browser with FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly, so the video stays on your device. Only the engine is downloaded once, then cached.
Why is my GIF so large?
GIFs are an old, inefficient format — file size grows quickly with length, frame rate and dimensions. Shorten the clip, lower the frame rate to 10–15 fps, or reduce the width to shrink it.
Is there a watermark?
No watermark, ever. The GIF contains only your footage.
Is it free, and are there limits?
It's completely free with no account required. Because processing happens on your device, there's no per-file upload limit — the practical ceiling is your device's available memory. You can batch many files and download them as a single ZIP.
