Drop a MOV file hereThe converter loads in your browser.

What happens to your MOV

The MOV is decoded, trimmed to your start and length, scaled and palettised into an optimised GIF.

Tip: Screen recordings with flat colours make small, crisp GIFs; camera footage with gradients makes large, noisy ones.

How to convert MOV to GIF

  1. Drop your MOV file on the box above, or tap it to pick one. The engine (about 31 MB) loads once per visit.
  2. The converter reads the file's streams and shows which codecs are inside.
  3. Set the width, frame rate and start/end times.
  4. Press the button, wait for the progress bar, then download your GIF.

Questions

Does it work with iPhone HEVC MOV?

Yes, HEVC is decoded in the browser. It is slower than H.264, so trim first.

Is my MOV file uploaded?

No. The MOV is read from your device by FFmpeg running as WebAssembly in the page, and the GIF is written back to your device. No server ever receives it.

Is there a size limit for MOV to GIF?

We set none. The practical limit is browser memory: roughly 2 GB of output on a computer, and much less on phones.
