Convert a video to a GIF, right in your browser
Choose up to 15 seconds of any MP4 or WebM, set the frame rate, width and looping, and get an animated GIF with a preview and its file size. The video is never uploaded.
To convert a video to a GIF, open the video, set a start and end time (up to 15 seconds), pick a frame rate of 5 to 15 fps and a width of 240 to 720 pixels, then click Make GIF. The converter captures each frame, builds a 256-color palette for it and encodes the GIF in your browser. Lower width and frame rate make a smaller file.

Trim to the moment
Set start and end to a tenth of a second, or use the player's current time.
Your frame rate and width
5 to 15 fps and 240 to 720 px wide, never upscaled past your video.
A palette per frame
Each frame gets its own 256-color palette, so colors stay close to the video.
