About this tool

Turn a short section of a video into a lightweight animated GIF. You pick the start, length, frame rate and width, and everything renders in your browser.

Why use it

  • Full control over start time, duration, fps and output width.
  • Great for reactions, demos and short loops anywhere GIFs work.
  • Processed locally — your video is never uploaded.

Common use cases

  • Make a reaction GIF from a favorite clip.
  • Turn a product demo moment into a looping preview.
  • Create a small animation for chat or documentation.

Tips

  • Keep clips short and the width modest to avoid huge files.
  • Lower fps makes smaller GIFs; 10–15 fps looks smooth for most clips.
How to use
  1. Drop a video file.
  2. Set start, duration, fps and width.
  3. Create the GIF and download.

10–15 fps is smooth for most clips while keeping the file size reasonable.
