This free online video to GIF converter turns any MP4, MOV, MKV, or WebM clip into a smooth animated GIF without uploading a single byte. Everything runs locally in your browser with ffmpeg.wasm — the same FFmpeg engine that professional editors use, compiled to WebAssembly. It's perfect for a quick MP4 to GIF, MOV to GIF, or WebM to GIF when you don't want to sign up, watch ads, or trust a random server with your footage.
Because the whole pipeline is client-side, it works well as a screen recording to GIF converter for bug reports and tutorials, a video to reaction GIF maker for Discord and Slack, or a way to convert a video clip to a looping GIF for a landing page, README, or email signature. You can trim the exact section you want, tune the frame rate and width, and pick between Sierra, Bayer, or no dithering to balance quality against file size.
Under the hood it uses FFmpeg's classic two-pass palettegen + paletteuse pipeline, so colors and gradients look far cleaner than the single-pass GIFs most quick converters produce. Free users can convert clips up to 15 seconds and files up to 100 MB, three times a day. Pro members remove those limits and can convert clips up to two minutes at any resolution their browser's memory can handle.
