Convert video to GIF

Turn a video clip into a GIF without sending it anywhere. Drop an MP4, WebM or MOV, trim the exact span on a filmstrip timeline, pick the frame rate and width, and convert — decoding happens with your browser's native video engine.

The finished GIF opens in the full GIF toolkit, so you can caption, crop or compress it immediately.

From clip to GIF, on your device

Turning a video into a GIF is the classic way to make a short, silent, autoplaying loop for chats, docs and social posts. pixelpix decodes the video with your browser’s native engine — no ffmpeg, no upload — and lets you trim the exact span on a filmstrip timeline, then pick the frame rate and width that balance smoothness against file size.

Because GIF is a heavy format, keep the span short and the width modest for a sensible file. The finished GIF opens in the full GIF toolkit, so you can caption, crop or compress it right away.

How it works

  1. Drop a video file into the Videos section.
  2. Trim the span and set fps + width.
  3. Convert to GIF and keep editing or download.

Like every pixelpix tool, this runs 100% in your browser: your file is never uploaded to a server, never leaves your device, and works even offline once the page has loaded.

Frequently asked questions

What video formats can I convert?
Anything your browser can play — typically MP4, WebM and MOV. Decoding uses the browser’s built-in video support.
How do I keep the GIF small?
Trim to just the moment you need, lower the frame rate (10–15fps is plenty for most clips) and reduce the width. The tool shows the frame count so you can stay reasonable.
Is my video uploaded?
No. The whole conversion runs locally in your browser; the video never leaves your device.
