Frequently asked questions
Why is my GIF bigger than the video?
GIF is a 1987 format that stores every frame as a separate image with a 256-colour palette — it's far less efficient than modern video. Keep GIFs short (3–10s), small, and low frame-rate; for anything longer, share the video itself.
Is Video to GIF free to use?
Yes — Video to GIF is free to use. It runs on our servers, so the Free plan includes a daily allowance; Premium removes the limits and raises the file-size cap.
Are my files uploaded or stored anywhere?
Your file is sent over an encrypted connection, processed, and automatically deleted from our servers shortly after — typically within an hour. We never read, share or keep your documents.
Do I need to install anything or create an account?
Nothing to install — everything happens online. You'll need a free account so we can queue your job and keep your result private to you.
How do I use Video to GIF?
Open the tool, add your file, adjust any options, then press “Make GIF”. Your result is ready to download in seconds.

Recording your screen with nothing installed
Screen recording straight from the browser — window, tab or full screen, with mic audio — plus trimming the result and turning it into a GIF.
Video to GIF: making clips that actually load
Turning a video moment into a GIF for docs, chats and issues — and keeping it under a few megabytes with the three settings that matter.
