GIF Maker

Image

Turn images or clips into optimized GIFs right in the browser.

Loading tool…

GIF Maker turns a video clip or a stack of images into an optimised, shareable GIF. Trim to the moment that matters, choose the frame rate and width, and watch the size estimate as you tune — GIFs balloon fast, so the controls that actually matter are the ones that keep the file small. Encoding runs in your browser, so gameplay clips, screen recordings and private moments never touch a server.

Frequently asked questions

Can I turn a video into a GIF?

Yes — drop in a video clip and choose the portion, frame rate and width, and it's encoded as a GIF in your browser. You can also build one from a series of still images if you'd rather animate frames you've made yourself.

How do I keep the GIF file size down?

Three levers, in order of impact: reduce the width, lower the frames per second, and cut the length. Reducing the number of colours helps too. GIF is an old format with a small palette, so a short, narrow, 10–15fps clip is far smaller than a long, wide, smooth one.

Can I add a caption?

Yes — type a caption and choose whether it sits at the top or bottom, with an outline so it stays readable over any footage. It's burned into the frames, so it survives being re-shared anywhere.

Does it loop?

By default, yes — GIFs loop forever, which is what most people expect. You can turn looping off if you want it to play once and stop on the final frame.
