Video to GIF Converter
Convert MP4, MOV, or WebM video into an animated GIF, WebP, or APNG online — free, no watermark, no software required.
Video to GIF Converter — Turn Any Clip into an Animated GIF
Convert MP4 to GIF in seconds: upload a video clip, pick GIF as the output, and download an animation that plays everywhere — no video player, no autoplay policies, no sound required. MOV, WebM, and other common video formats convert just as easily, and the animation always survives: a plain image converter would keep only the first frame.
A GIF drops into chats, forums, docs, and product pages where a video embed is clumsy or blocked. To keep files tight, you can set a frame rate and a width before converting, and the output’s colors are optimized per file so the animation stays crisp at a small size.
The converter also works between animated image formats: turn a GIF into an animated WebP or APNG — usually far smaller at the same quality — or bring an APNG or animated WebP back to classic GIF for maximum compatibility.
How to convert a video to GIF
- Upload your clip — MP4, MOV, WebM, or an existing GIF/APNG/animated WebP.
- Pick the output format — GIF for universal support, WebP for smaller files, APNG for lossless quality.
- Download your animation — optionally set a frame rate (1–30 fps) or width first to control file size.

FAQ
How do I convert an MP4 to GIF for free? Upload the MP4, choose GIF as the output format, and download the result. There’s no watermark and nothing to install.
Why is my GIF file so large? GIF is an old format with a limited color palette and no modern compression, so long or high-resolution clips balloon fast. Lower the frame rate, scale the width down, keep the clip short — or pick animated WebP, which compresses far better. An existing GIF can also be compressed separately without changing its motion.
What’s the difference between GIF, WebP, and APNG? GIF plays absolutely everywhere but produces the biggest files. Animated WebP is much smaller and supported by all modern browsers. APNG keeps full color quality at the cost of larger files than WebP. When in doubt, start with GIF.
Does the converted GIF keep sound? No — the GIF format has no audio track. The animation converts; sound is dropped by the format itself.
Does converting keep the loop? Yes — looping, timing, and frame order survive the conversion in every direction.
