How to make a GIF from a video

  2. Set the start and end (use Set from video while it is paused), and choose width and frame rate.
  3. Click Create GIF and download it.

Frequently asked questions

How long can the GIF be?

Short is best: GIFs are big because every frame is a full picture. 3–10 seconds at 480 px and 12 fps is a good balance.

How do I make the GIF smaller?

Choose a smaller width, a lower frame rate or a shorter part.

Is there a watermark?

No — never.

Are my files uploaded?

No. FileCrafty processes video and audio inside your browser using your device’s own media engine, so nothing is uploaded — it even works offline once the page has loaded.

Which browsers are supported?

Recent Chrome, Edge and Safari work best because they can encode MP4 (H.264 + AAC). Firefox works for most files. On phones, very long or 4K videos may be too big for the available memory.
