MOV to GIF for iPhone, Mac and Camera Clips

MOV is the QuickTime video format that iPhones, Macs and many cameras save. A GIF is a short silent loop you can send wherever GIF uploads are accepted.

This tool cuts a piece out of your MOV and turns it into a GIF. You choose the start and end, the frame rate and the width, and it runs in your browser, so the video stays on your device.

The clip can be up to 60 seconds long. The default is the first 5 seconds at 10 frames per second and 480 pixels wide.

There is nothing to install and no account to make: open the page, pick the file and get a GIF you can send straight away.

Made for

  • iPhone clips
  • Mac recordings
  • Camera footage
  • Reaction loops
  • Docs and chats

How to Convert MOV to GIF Online

  1. 1

    Pick your MOV file to convert

    Click the upload area or drop the .mov file on it. The picker shows MOV files, and a preview plays so you can find your moment.

  2. 2

    Choose the part and the size

    Type a start and end time, or pause the preview and use Start at playhead and End at playhead. Then set the frame rate (5 to 25) and the width (240 to 800 pixels, or Original). A shorter clip and a smaller width give a lighter GIF.

  3. 3

    Convert MOV to GIF and download

    Press Convert to GIF. The result shows the size before and after, its dimensions, frames and length. Click Download to save the GIF, or Start over for another clip.

Why Convert MOV to GIF Here

  • The video stays on your device

    A MOV is often a personal clip. It is read and converted in your browser, so it is never sent to our server.

  • MOV files that will not preview still work

    Some MOV files cannot play in the browser preview but can still be converted. Type the start and end times by hand.

  • You see what you got

    After the run the page lists the GIF's size before and after, its width and height, the frame count and the length.

  • Width is never upscaled

    Choosing a width wider than your video does not stretch it. The GIF keeps the source width at most, so no soft, oversized file.

  • No watermark, no limit on files

    There is no sign-up and no watermark on the GIF, and no cap on how many MOV files you convert. Your options stay as you set them when you pick the next file.

What to Know Before You Convert

Your MOV is not uploaded

The file is processed by your browser on your device and is never sent to our server. This page's AI tools are separate and do upload.

Free, with no account

Converting MOV to GIF here is free, with no sign-up, no email and no watermark.

What a GIF cannot hold

A GIF has no sound and uses up to 256 colors per frame, so gradients can look banded. Clips are capped at 60 seconds.

The first file takes longer

When you pick a file, the page loads a converter component of about 32 MB. Your browser then keeps it for the next conversions.
