How Video to GIF Conversion Works
Key Takeaways
- GIF conversion extracts video frames, reduces colors to 256 per frame, and encodes them as an animated sequence.
- This tool uses FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly, running the full video pipeline in your browser.
- Frame rate, resolution, and duration dramatically affect the final GIF file size.
Animated GIFs remain one of the most widely supported formats for short animations across messaging apps, social media, and the web. Converting video clips to GIFs lets you create shareable moments, tutorials, and reactions. This tool uses FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly (ffmpeg.wasm) to perform conversion entirely in your browser.

Software Tutorials & Bug Reports

Memes & Creative Content
Turn memorable video moments into shareable GIFs for forums, Reddit, and social media.
Tips for Smaller, Better GIFs
Keep GIFs under 5 seconds and 480px wide for the best balance of quality and file size.
Use 10–15 FPS for most cases. The eye perceives smooth motion at 12+ FPS, so 24+ is rarely needed for GIFs.
Trim your video to the exact segment before converting — every extra second adds significant file size.
Scenes with less motion and fewer colors produce smaller GIFs. Fast, colorful scenes may cause visible banding.
All video processing is performed in your browser using FFmpeg WebAssembly. Your video files never leave your device.
