Free Video to GIF Converter
Trim a clip and export it as an animated GIF. Nothing is uploaded, everything runs on your device.
What this does: converts a trimmed section of a video into an animated GIF entirely in your browser, using FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. It is free, needs no signup, and never uploads your video to a server. The first use downloads a ~31MB engine (cached afterward for instant reuse), and because it runs single-threaded in the browser tab it is slower than a desktop app, especially on long clips or mobile devices.

Frequently asked questions
Does this tool upload my video to a server?
No. The entire conversion happens locally in your browser using FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. Your video file is never uploaded anywhere, and no signup is required to use this free tool.
Why does the first conversion take longer than the next one?
The first time you convert a video on this page, your browser downloads a ~31MB WebAssembly video engine. Your browser caches it afterward, so later visits and conversions start almost instantly.
Why is the conversion slow, especially on long clips or mobile?
Processing runs single-threaded inside your browser tab rather than using your device's full hardware, so it is slower than a native desktop app. Large files, long clips, and mobile devices will take noticeably longer.
