About Video to GIF Maker

Video to GIF Maker is a free, in-browser tool that turns a clip from any video file into an animated GIF, letting you pick the exact start/end range, frame rate, width, color count, loop behavior, and an optional burned-in caption. Every frame is captured and encoded locally with gifenc — your video never leaves the device, with no upload, signup, or watermark.

How to use Video to GIF Maker

  1. Drop or choose a video file (any browser-supported format such as MP4/H.264 or WebM/VP8, up to 50 MB).
  2. Set the Start and End of the clip — type seconds (2.5), mm:ss (1:30), or 1m30s, or click the arrow buttons to grab the player's current position.
  3. Pick a frame rate (8, 10, 12, 15, or 20 fps) and output width (240, 320, 480, or 640 px); height follows the source aspect ratio.
  4. Tune the colors-per-frame slider (8–256) and loop mode (infinite, once, or 3×); add an optional caption and choose its font if you want burned-in text.
  5. Click Make GIF to capture frames and encode locally, then download the .gif.

Frequently asked questions

Is it free, and do I need an account?
Yes, it's completely free with no signup, no watermark, and no limits on how many GIFs you make.
Are my videos uploaded to a server?
No. The video is loaded straight into the page, and frames are captured and encoded right in your browser with the gifenc library — nothing is uploaded and your file never leaves the device.
What video formats and sizes can I use?
Any video format your browser can play, which typically includes MP4 (H.264) and WebM (VP8/VP9), up to 50 MB. If a clip won't decode, re-encode the source to H.264 MP4 or VP8 WebM.
How long a clip can I convert?
The GIF is capped at 400 frames, so the maximum length depends on your frame rate — for example about 33 seconds at 12 fps or 20 seconds at 20 fps. If you exceed it, trim the range or lower the fps.
How do I make the GIF file smaller?
Lower the width, drop the frame rate, reduce the colors-per-frame slider, or shorten the clip. Each frame gets its own palette, so fewer colors means a smaller file at some cost to quality.
Can I add text to the GIF?
Yes. Type a caption to burn bottom-centered text directly into every frame, with a dark outline for legibility, and pick any typeface from the built-in self-hosted font library.
