VidverterHow to convert video to GIF
- Add your video file.
- Set the start and end time (e.g. 0:05 to 0:09), width and frame rate.
- Click "Make GIF" and download it.
Keep GIFs small
- GIFs get big fast: 3–6 seconds is ideal for chat and social media.
- 480 px wide at 15 fps is a good balance; use 320 px or 10 fps for smaller files.
- Free GIFs can be up to 15 seconds long; Pro makes GIFs up to 2 minutes.
GIF or MP4?
GIF plays everywhere without a play button, which is why it is still used in chats, emails, documentation and GitHub READMEs. For long or high-quality clips, an MP4 is far smaller.
Frequently asked questions
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Vidverter runs entirely in your browser and uses your device's own video encoders. Files never leave your computer or phone, so it is safe for private recordings, and there is no upload or download wait.
Does it keep the sound?
No, the GIF format has no audio. Use MP4 if you need sound.
