⚠️ The Problem

You have a great video clip you want to share, but the platform doesn't support video, or you want a quick-loading animated image for social media.

The Solution

Convert any video segment to a high-quality GIF in seconds. Trim to the perfect moment, adjust size, and create shareable animated images.

Step-by-Step Guide

    Upload Your Video

    Drag and drop your MP4, MOV, or WebM video. Max file size 100MB.

  2. 2

    Select the Clip

    Set start and end times to capture just the moment you want. Preview your selection.

  3. 3

    Adjust GIF Size

  4. 4

    Set Frame Rate

    10-15 fps is smooth and keeps file size reasonable. Higher for fast action.
