Videos, WebP and photos become a GIF. A GIF becomes MP4, WebM, MOV or PNG frames.

One GIF converter for videos, WebP, images and GIFs

Drop a file into this GIF converter and it reads what the file is, then offers the conversions that fit. A video goes to the video-to-GIF settings: start and end time, frame rate and width. A WebP becomes a GIF. A few JPG or PNG images become one animated GIF.

A GIF can leave as MP4, WebM or MOV, or as PNG frames you save one by one. Any other file type is refused with a message instead of a broken download.

The work happens in your browser tab, so nothing is uploaded and there is no account. Use it when you are not sure which tool you need: start with the file, and the page shows the way.

Convert to GIF in your browser or on a server

Two ways to run a conversion, and when each one wins. With this converter, your file never leaves your device, so there is nothing to delete afterward.

What happens to your file when you convert into GIF

  • Your file is never uploaded

    Reading, converting and saving all happen in your browser. We never receive the file, so there is nothing for us to store or delete.

  • No watermark, no sign-up

    The result downloads clean. There is no account to make and no cap on how many files you convert.

  • Big clips make big GIFs

    A 10-second 1080p video at full size came out as a 193 MB GIF in our test, so trim the clip or pick a smaller width. Video clips are limited to 60 seconds.

  • GIF to video loses two things

    The video has no audio, since a GIF has none. Transparent areas turn white. A video also plays once unless you pick how many times the GIF repeats.

Frequently asked questions

No. Your browser processes the file on your device, and it is never sent to our server. Converting works the same way for every file type you drop, whether a video, a GIF, a WebP or photos.

Video or WebP to GIF, several JPG or PNG images to one GIF, and a GIF to MP4, WebM, MOV or PNG frames. Drop the file and the matching options appear, so you never choose the direction from a long list of formats.

Not as a format change: a GIF can become MP4, WebM, MOV or PNG frames here, but not another GIF. To resize, crop, speed up, add text to or compress a GIF, use those tool pages from the menu.

Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many files you convert. The download is the converted file with nothing added.

Yes. Pick the format and how many times the GIF plays, from once to 10 times, since a video does not loop by itself. In our test a 19.9 MB GIF became a 1.7 MB MP4. The video has no audio.

Drop the video and set the start and end time. The defaults are the first 5 seconds at 10 frames per second and 480 pixels wide. A clip can be up to 60 seconds.

The converter says "This file type is not supported" and does nothing else. A plain text file got that message in our test.

Yes. Every frame is saved as a full PNG with transparency kept, as a ZIP of all frames or one by one. A single-frame GIF gives one PNG. A long GIF makes a big ZIP: 150 frames at 640 by 360 came to 66 MB in our test.

Yes, animated or still. Chrome, Edge and Firefox 133 or newer keep every frame. A browser without the image decoder it needs, such as older Safari, saves only the first frame and tells you so.

Yes. Drop two or more JPG or PNG images and they become one animated GIF. The image-to-GIF page lists the timing and size options.

Video detail changes on almost every frame, so a GIF made from video grows with width and length. A 5-second 720p clip came out at 4 MB in our test, and a full-size 1080p clip at 193 MB. Shorten it, lower the width or run it through the GIF compressor.
