About this tool
A GIF is a looping picture made of many frames, so file size grows quickly with length, width and frame rate. For chat apps and social posts, 3 to 5 seconds at 10 FPS and 320 to 480 pixels wide is a good balance. GIF files can show up to 256 colors and have no sound.
Want a vertical or square GIF? Crop your clip first with the video aspect ratio resizer. If the finished GIF is part of a web page, shrink related pictures with the image KB reducer to keep the page fast.
Frequently asked questions
How long can my GIF be?
Up to 15 seconds. Short clips keep the file small and load faster.
How do I make the GIF file smaller?
Lower the width, the FPS or the length. Dropping from 15 FPS to 10 FPS often cuts the size by a third.
Does the GIF keep the sound?
No. The GIF format does not support audio.
Which video formats work?
Any format your browser can play, which is usually MP4, MOV and WebM.
