About MP4 to GIF

Make an animated GIF from any MP4 clip — perfect for reactions, short how-tos and social posts. Choose the start time and length, frame rate and width to control the size. GIFs are made with an optimized color palette so they look smooth and stay as small as possible.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make only part of the video into a GIF?

Enter a start time and a duration in seconds in Options, for example start 5 and duration 3 to turn seconds 5 to 8 into a GIF.

How can I make the GIF smaller?

Use a lower width (320 or 480 px), a lower frame rate (10 fps) or a shorter clip. You can also run it through our GIF Compressor afterwards.

Does the GIF have sound?

No — the GIF format can't contain audio. If you need sound, keep the clip as MP4.
