- Set the start, length, width and smoothness.
- Make the GIF and download it.
Questions people ask
Why is my GIF so large?
GIF is an old, inefficient format. Use a shorter clip, smaller width or 10 fps.
Can I convert an MP4 to GIF?
Yes — MP4, MOV, WebM and most other formats work.
Is there a watermark?
No.
Is Video to GIF on ActuallyFreeTools really free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no daily limit, no watermark and no paid tier. Nothing is held back for paying users.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Video to GIF runs inside your browser, so your files are processed on your own device and never sent to a server. That is also why there is nothing to meter or charge for.
