About GIF Maker
GIF creation transforms video clips into animated images that play automatically and loop endlessly without requiring a video player. GIFs are universally supported across websites, messaging apps, and social media platforms, making them perfect for sharing reactions, tutorials, and memorable moments.
Our GIF maker extracts frames from your video and optimizes them into a compact animated image. You select the exact portion of video to convert, set the frame rate to balance smoothness with file size, and choose output dimensions. The optimization engine generates a custom color palette for your specific content, ensuring the best possible quality within GIF's technical limitations.
Social media managers create reaction GIFs from TV shows and movies for brand engagement. Tutorial creators make quick-loop demonstrations of software features. Marketers create eye-catching product animations for email campaigns and websites. Meme creators extract perfect moments from videos for viral content.
Advanced options let you control the balance between quality and file size. Higher frame rates create smoother animation but larger files. Resolution scaling helps manage file size for platform-specific limits. Our palette optimization produces vibrant colors despite GIF's 256-color restriction.
Common Use Cases

How It Works
Our GIF maker uses FFmpeg's two-pass palette generation for optimal color quality. The palettegen filter analyzes all frames to create an optimal 256-color palette, then paletteuse applies it with dithering for smooth gradients. Output is optimized with gifsicle.
