About this tool

Turns the opening of a video into an animated GIF. A GIF plays automatically like an image with no player required, which makes it handy for showing a short motion in a document or chat. Files never leave the browser.

When to use it

  • —Putting a short how-to animation into a document
  • —Sending a reproducible bug over chat
  • —Showing a movement simply without attaching a video

Good to know

  • —GIF is limited to 256 colors, so photographic or gradient-heavy footage looks blotchy.
  • —File size climbs steeply with length; a few seconds is the practical limit.
  • —GIFs carry no sound.
