Why convert a video to GIF?
GIFs autoplay and loop silently everywhere — in Slack, Discord, email newsletters, GitHub READMEs and product pages — where a video would need a player and a click. They are great for reactions, tutorials, app demos and highlights.
MP4, MOV and WEBM are the most common video formats from phones, screen recorders and cameras. Any format your browser can play can be turned into a GIF here.
GIF is the classic format for short animations. It plays automatically and loops everywhere — in chats, emails, forums and websites — but it is limited to 256 colors per frame.

MP4 to GIF in high quality
Each frame gets its own optimized 256-color palette, so your GIF stays sharp and true to the original video. Choose up to 25 fps for smooth motion or 10–12 fps for smaller files you can post in Discord, Slack or email.
Convert video to GIF on iPhone, Android, Mac and Windows
Open this page in your phone’s browser, tap “Choose a video” and pick a clip from your camera roll. On a computer, drag in an MP4, MOV or WEBM file — screen recordings work perfectly for tutorials and bug reports.
Tips for smaller, better GIFs
- Keep it short: 2–6 seconds is ideal for reactions and demos.
- 480 px wide is plenty for chats; use 640–800 px for tutorials with text.
- Lower the frame rate before lowering the width — 10 fps still looks smooth.
- Trim to the exact moment with the start time and length fields.
