A GIF can be up to 30 seconds long. Drag the handles to pick the part you want.
This GIF may be large. Many chat apps and sites refuse files over 10 MB: pick a smaller width, 10 frames per second or a shorter part.

Questions, answered
Is this video to GIF converter free?expand_more
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on the number of files.
Is my video uploaded to a server?expand_more
No. It all runs inside your browser, on your computer. The file is never sent anywhere, and the page keeps working if you go offline after it has loaded. Read the privacy policy for details.
How long can the GIF be?expand_more
Up to 30 seconds. GIFs get large quickly: a 10-second part at 480 px and 10 frames per second is usually a few megabytes. For anything longer, an MP4 is far smaller and plays almost everywhere.
Why is my GIF so large?expand_more
A GIF stores every frame as a full picture with at most 256 colours, so it is much larger than the same clip as a video. To make it smaller, lower the width, choose 10 frames per second or pick a shorter part. The page shows a size estimate before you start.
Does the GIF have sound?expand_more
No. GIFs can’t hold sound. If you need the sound, keep the video and convert it to MP4 with the WebM to MP4 converter.
Which browsers does it work in?expand_more
Recent versions of Chrome, Edge, Opera and Safari, and Firefox 130 or newer. It uses the browser's built-in video decoder (WebCodecs).
How do I record my screen as a GIF?expand_more
Use PulseRecorder, the free screen recorder for Chrome and Edge. It records a tab, a window or your whole screen and saves it as GIF, MP4 or WebM. The export tutorial shows how.
Record your screen straight to GIF
PulseRecorder records your tab, window or screen and saves it as GIF or MP4 in one click. Free, no account.
