How to convert MOV to GIF

  1. Drop the MOV in. It plays in the page so you can find the moment.
  2. Pick the start, the length and the size. Up to 10 seconds. 480 px wide at 12 fps is the sweet spot for chats and posts; 320 px for very small files.
  3. Make it and download. The size is shown before you save, so you can trim it to a limit.

iPhone videos and GIFs

Live Photos and short clips
The three-second clips iPhones make are the natural GIF length. Export the Live Photo as a video, drop it here.
Screen recordings
A Mac or iPhone screen recording of a feature or a bug makes a clear GIF for a support ticket or a doc. 480 px wide keeps text readable.
Size
Ten seconds of 4K MOV is hundreds of MB; the GIF is a few MB because the frames are scaled down and the rate reduced. Keep it under five seconds for chat.

Questions people ask

Does Safari support this?

Yes. MOV plays natively in Safari, and the GIF is encoded in the browser.

How long can the GIF be?

Up to 10 seconds. Three to five seconds keeps the file small enough for any chat.

Why is the GIF so large?

Every frame is stored as an image. Use 480 or 320 px wide and 10 or 12 fps; the size is shown before you download.

Can I keep the sound?

No, GIF has no audio. Compress the MOV to a small MP4 for a clip with sound.

Will vertical videos work?

Yes. The width you pick applies and the height follows the video's shape.
