Turn any video into a looping GIF.

Drop in a clip, trim it, tune the frames — and watch it loop. The whole conversion happens on your machine, powered by WebAssembly. No servers. No uploads. No waiting in a queue.

Three steps · start to loop

From clip to GIF without leaving the tab.

STEP 01

Drop the clip

Drag in a MOV, MP4, WebM or eight other formats. It loads straight into the page — the file never travels anywhere.

STEP 02

Tune the frames

Trim start and end, set FPS and width, pick a speed from 0.5× to 5×, and choose whether it loops forever.

STEP 03

Preview & save

Watch the GIF play before you commit. Adjust and re-render instantly — no re-upload — then download.

What you get

Full control, zero uploads.

On-device by design

Encoding runs on ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly, right in the tab. Your footage stays yours — no server ever sees it.

Dial in every frame

Start/end trim, FPS, output width, playback speed and loop control — the knobs that actually decide how a GIF feels and weighs.

Instant re-renders

Tweak a setting and convert again without re-loading the file. A live progress bar tracks every frame as it encodes.

Works everywhere

Windows, Mac and Linux, in any modern browser. Big videos auto-downscale and you're warned before an output balloons past 10MB.

The whole point

Your files never leave this tab.

Most converters ask you to upload footage to a stranger's server. SimpleGIF doesn't. There is no backend and no account — your video is processed by the code running in front of you and never leaves your device.

Questions

Video to GIF — FAQ

How do I convert a video to a GIF for free?

Open the converter, drag in your video (MOV, MP4, WebM and 6 more formats), trim it, set the FPS and width, then convert and download the looping GIF. It is free, with no watermark and no account.

Is my video uploaded to a server?

No. SimpleGIF runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your video never leaves your device — there is no backend and no upload.

Is there a file size limit?

Because everything is processed on your own machine, there is no upload cap. Large videos are downscaled automatically, and you are warned before a GIF grows past 10MB.

Which video formats can I convert to GIF?

MOV, MP4, WebM, AVI, MKV, M4V, WMV, FLV and OGV — nine formats in total, all converted locally in your browser.

Can I also compress a video instead of making a GIF?

Yes. The compress tool shrinks MP4, MOV and WebM files with H.264 up to 500MB, entirely in your browser with no upload.
