Video to GIF Converter
Convert video files into animated GIFs with custom start time, duration, frame rate, and width.
Run tool
Transform video recordings into animated GIF clips directly in your web browser. This online converter lets you select any video file up to 50 MB and customize the segment parameters to create lightweight animations for chat messages, documentation, or presentations. You can choose an exact start time anywhere from 0 to 86,400 seconds and set a clip duration between 0.1 and 30 seconds. To balance image fidelity and file size, configure the frame rate from 1 to 30 frames per second and pick an output width between 64 and 1,280 pixels. The tool maintains your original aspect ratio automatically while applying color palette optimization to keep visual gradients clean and distinct. When processing finishes within the 45-second execution window, the generated animated GIF appears ready to preview and save. Adjusting dimensions and frame rates ensures quick loading times across social platforms, issue trackers, and shared knowledge bases.
Instructions
- Upload or select your video file (up to 50 MB in size).
- Specify the start time in seconds where your animation should begin.
- Enter the desired duration between 0.1 and 30 seconds.
- Set the output frame rate between 1 and 30 frames per second.
- Adjust the target width in pixels (between 64 and 1,280 pixels) while keeping the original aspect ratio.
- Run the conversion to generate and download your animated GIF.
Examples
- Convert a 5-second product demonstration starting at second 12, resized to 480 pixels width at 15 fps for a bug report.
