How to Convert Video to GIF in 3 Steps

Upload Your Video

Drop an MP4, WebM, or MOV file. Decoding and sampling stay in the browser.

Choose Width & FPS

Cap the GIF width and frame rate so the loop stays usable for chat and the web.

Preview & Download

Watch the GIF preview, download it, then compress on ReduceGIF if you need a smaller file.

Why convert video to GIF?

Some chats, stickers, and legacy embeds still want GIF. For short loops, a downscaled GIF is often “good enough.” For longer or photo-like clips, keep the video — or use GIF to Video when you already have a heavy GIF.

Limits: up to 40 MB, about 12 seconds of sampling, and 120 frames. After download, use the GIF compressor or GIF resizer if the file is still too large.

FAQ

Does ReduceGIF convert video to GIF in the browser?

Yes. The Video to GIF tool samples frames from MP4, WebM, or MOV (when your browser can decode them) and encodes an animated GIF locally with gifenc. The file is not uploaded to ReduceGIF servers for conversion.

Which video formats work?

MP4 (H.264) and WebM work in most modern browsers. MOV may work in Safari. If the browser cannot decode the codec, try exporting H.264 MP4 from your editor first.

Will the GIF be smaller than the video?

Often no. GIF is a palette-based format and can be larger than compressed video for photo-like clips. Use a lower width or FPS, then compress the result on ReduceGIF if you need a smaller file.

Are there length or size limits?

Yes. Videos up to 40 MB, about 12 seconds of sampling, and up to 120 GIF frames. Longer clips are truncated to the limit; shorten the source or lower FPS for more coverage within the frame cap.
