Video to GIF Converter
What it does
Converts a video clip into an animated GIF with zero uploads and zero external libraries: frames are captured by seeking the browser’s own video decoder, colors are quantized by our median-cut palette extraction, and the GIF89a byte stream (LZW compression included) is assembled by our from-scratch encoder — the same encoder that ships as a Go CLI twin.
Frame rate (2-15 fps), output width, and an automatic frame cap keep output sizes sane. A live preview shows the result before you save it.
How to use
- Drop a video clip (MP4, WebM — whatever your browser can decode).
- Set the frame rate and output width.
- Press Convert to GIF, preview, and save.
Short clips (a few seconds) are the sweet spot — GIFs are large by nature.
Examples
A 3-second 720p clip at 10 fps and 320 px width typically produces a GIF in the 1-4 MB range, depending on motion.
Reducing fps to 5 roughly halves the size; halving the width roughly quarters it.
Good to know
- Frames are capped at 300 — longer clips are trimmed to that budget at the chosen fps.
- Every frame re-quantizes against one shared 128-color palette, keeping colors stable across the animation.
- For extracting frames from an existing GIF, use the GIF Frame Extractor instead.
