Why Use Video to GIF Converter?
The Image Format That Plays Everywhere Without a Video Player
GIF87a was introduced by CompuServe in 1987 and remains the only animated image format universally supported by every email client, messaging app, browser, and social platform on the internet. According to Giphy's own platform statistics, over 10 billion GIFs are served daily across its integrations with iMessage, Slack, Discord, Twitter, and Facebook Messenger. Unlike video files that require player controls and codec support, GIFs auto-play and auto-loop the moment they appear on screen.
Four Parameters Give You Complete Control Over the Output
Start time lets you point at the exact moment you want, the reaction face at 1:23, the slam dunk at 0:47, the software bug at 3:15. Duration controls how many seconds to capture (3 to 5 seconds is optimal for messaging according to Giphy's creator guidelines). Frame rate balances smoothness against file size, 15 FPS is the sweet spot where animation looks fluid without bloating the file. Width controls the pixel dimensions, directly affecting both visual sharpness and download weight.
Optimized File Sizes

How It Works
Upload Your Video
Drag and drop your video file. Support for MP4, MOV, WebM, AVI formats up to 2GB.
Set Start Time & Duration
Enter when you want the GIF to start and how long it should be. Keep under 15 seconds for best results.
Adjust Quality Settings
Choose frame rate (FPS) and width. Higher FPS means smoother animation but larger files.
Download Your GIF
Click 'Create GIF' and download your animated GIF. Share on social media, messaging apps, or websites.
Pro Tips for Better GIFs
Keep GIFs Short
Aim for 3-10 seconds for optimal file size and engagement. Shorter GIFs load faster and loop more naturally. Longer durations create much larger files.
Balance FPS and Size
15 FPS is ideal for most content. Use 10 FPS for smaller files (text animations, simple motion) and 20-30 FPS only for fast action that needs smoothness.
Choose Width Wisely
480px width works for most uses. Use 320px for messaging apps and 640px for presentations. Larger sizes dramatically increase file size.
Trim Before Converting
Set precise start time and duration to capture exactly the moment you want. Preview your video first to find the perfect clip boundaries.
