How this tool works
What it does
Video to GIF captures a section of a video and encodes it into an animated GIF.
Controls
Start time, duration, FPS, and output width; the duration is clamped to the video length.
No audio
GIF output has no audio — audio tracks from the source video are not preserved.
Privacy & metadata
In-browser only; nothing is uploaded. Re-encoding to GIF through the browser canvas removes EXIF, GPS, and other metadata.
Video to GIF in your browser
Video to GIF turns a section of a video into an animated GIF in your browser — frames are captured locally and never uploaded to a server. Video to GIF works with any video your browser can play; which formats and codecs are supported depends on your browser. If a video cannot be decoded, Video to GIF shows a clear error rather than uploading it.
Choose the start time, duration, frames per second, and output width. The duration is clamped to the time remaining in the video, and the result panel shows the duration actually used. GIF output has no audio — audio tracks from the source video are not preserved.
Video to GIF shows the frame count, FPS, duration, output dimensions, and file size in the result panel.
How to use Video to GIF

Frequently asked questions
Are my videos uploaded to a server by Video to GIF?
No. Video to GIF captures frames and encodes the GIF in your browser, and the video is never sent to imgtoolsbase or any server.
Which video formats work in Video to GIF?
Any video your browser can play. Support depends on your browser’s codecs — commonly MP4/H.264 and WebM. If a video will not play in your browser, Video to GIF cannot convert it.
Does the GIF from Video to GIF include audio?
No. The GIF Video to GIF creates has no audio; audio tracks from the source video are not preserved.
What if I set a long duration in Video to GIF?
The duration is clamped to the time remaining after the start point, and Video to GIF guards the total frame workload, so a very long or high-FPS capture is limited to protect the browser. The result panel shows the duration actually used.
