Convert Video to GIF

Upload your video, trim it to the clip you want, then export it as an animated GIF. GIF clips are limited to 15 seconds. Your video stays in the editor — you can keep editing after the export.

Upload a video clip and export it as an animated GIF. The tool runs a two-pass FFmpeg encode — palette generation then dithered render — which produces sharper colours than a single-pass approach. Useful for turning a short highlight, reaction, or loop into a shareable GIF for social media, chat, or embed use. Your video stays in the editor after export so you can keep editing or export again with different settings.

How to use

  1. 1.Upload your video using the button above.
  2. 2.Use the Trim tool first if you want to isolate a specific clip (optional).
  3. 3.Open the GIF Export panel and set start time, end time (max 15 s apart), width, and frame rate.
  4. 4.Click Export GIF and wait for the progress bar.
  5. 5.Download the exported GIF.

What this tool does

The exporter runs FFmpeg in two passes. The first pass generates an optimised colour palette for your clip; the second pass dithers the video frames against that palette to produce the GIF. This gives significantly better colour accuracy than a single-pass encode. Frame rate and width can be tuned to trade file size against smoothness — lower fps and narrower width produce smaller files. GIF clips are capped at 15 seconds because GIF files scale poorly in size beyond that.

FAQ

Why is the GIF file so large?
GIF is an uncompressed-per-frame format with no temporal compression. A 10-second clip at 15 fps can easily be 10–30 MB. Reduce width or frame rate to bring the size down.
Can I export more than 15 seconds?
No, 15 seconds is the hard cap. GIF files grow very quickly with duration; beyond 15 s the output size becomes impractical for sharing.
Does exporting a GIF change my video in the editor?
No. The GIF export is a separate output. Your current video file is untouched and you can keep applying tools (trim, compress, etc.) after the export.
Can I run multiple GIF exports at once?
No, only one GIF export can run at a time per session. Start a new export after the current one finishes.
Why does the GIF look less smooth than the original video?
GIF is limited to 256 colours per frame and has no inter-frame compression, so motion artefacts are visible at lower frame rates. Increasing fps improves smoothness at the cost of a larger file.
