Video to GIF
Pick the exact seconds of a video you want as a GIF — your browser decodes the video itself, so nothing is uploaded.

Why there's a 15-second cap
GIF stores every frame as a full 256-color image with no modern compression, so file size grows brutally fast: a 15-second clip at 10 fps is already 150 frames. For anything longer, an actual video file is both smaller and sharper — GIFs shine for short loops, reactions and demos.
Is my video uploaded anywhere?
No — your own browser decodes the video and encodes the GIF, all on your device. Nothing is sent to a server.
Why does my video fail to load?
The tool uses your browser's built-in video support. MP4 (H.264) and WebM play everywhere; more exotic codecs (like some HEVC or AV1 files) depend on your browser and system.
