Convert MOV to GIF — without uploading a thing

Turn a QuickTime MOV clip — the format your iPhone and Mac screen recordings save as — into a clean, looping GIF. Drop it in, trim it, tune the frames, download.

MOV files come straight off iPhones, Macs and QuickTime screen recordings, and they are usually far too large to share as-is. Converting to GIF makes a short clip loop forever and drop to a fraction of the size, perfect for chat, docs, issues and README demos.

Most online MOV converters make you upload the video to their servers and wait in a queue. SimpleGIF does the opposite. The whole conversion runs on your own machine with WebAssembly — the file is never uploaded to a server, so nothing leaves this browser tab. That also means there is no file-size upload limit and no waiting — big MOV files auto-downscale and encode locally.

You control every knob that decides how the GIF looks and weighs: trim the start and end, set the frame rate (FPS), pick an output width, choose a playback speed from 0.5× to 5×, and decide whether it loops forever. Re-render instantly without re-loading the file.

Nothing is uploaded

Your MOV is processed by ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly, right in this tab. No server ever sees it.

Control every frame

Trim, FPS, output width, playback speed and looping — the knobs that decide how the GIF looks and weighs.

Instant re-renders

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

Questions

MOV to GIF — FAQ

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

Open the converter, drag in your MOV file, trim it and set the FPS and width, then click convert and download the GIF. It is completely free with no watermark and no account.

Is my MOV file uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your MOV never leaves your device — there is no server and no upload.

Is there a file size limit for MOV to GIF?

Because processing happens on your own machine, there is no upload cap. Large MOV files are automatically downscaled, and you are warned before a GIF grows past 10MB.

Will the MOV to GIF conversion work on a Mac or iPhone?

Yes. It runs in any modern browser on Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android — no app to install.
