Video to GIF: what to know

A GIF is a looping animation that plays anywhere images do, with no play button: in chats, emails, documents and old forums. It stores at most 256 colors per frame and no sound.

Choose the start and length of the clip, the width and the frame rate. Frames are decoded from your video and encoded into a GIF in your browser, with a fresh color palette for every frame so colors stay as close as GIF allows.

Popular uses

  • Reaction GIFs from your own clips
  • Product demos in emails and docs
  • Bug reports and how-to steps
  • Animated previews for social posts

Tips for the best result

  • Keep it short: 2 to 6 seconds is plenty for most GIFs.
  • 10 to 15 fps looks smooth enough and keeps the file small.
  • 320 to 480 pixels wide is ideal for chats and emails.
