Pick the section you want, set the frame rate and width, and get an animated GIF. Choosing a short section matters: GIF stores every frame separately, so a few seconds is usually the sensible limit.
The palette is generated from your specific clip before the frames are written, rather than using a fixed set of colours. That is the difference between a clean GIF and the banded, dithered mess most converters produce.
Lower frame rates and narrower widths cut the size dramatically — 10–15 frames per second looks fine for most clips and is a fraction of the size of 30.

Where it runs
In your browser; nothing uploaded
Not for: Long clips — GIF is an inefficient format and a few seconds can already run to several megabytes.
Frequently asked questions
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. This conversion runs entirely inside your browser using your own device’s processing power. The file never leaves your computer or phone, which is why it also works when your connection drops.
Why is my GIF so large?
GIF has no motion compression, so size scales with duration, frame rate and width. Trim the clip, drop to 10–12 fps and reduce the width.
Is the audio kept?
GIF has no sound. Use the MP4 tools if you need audio.
