Make GIFs from videos in few simple steps

Start exploring the world of GIF creation with our intuitive GIF creator, part of our Simple Video Tools collection, tailored to provide a user-friendly experience for creators looking to bring their content to life.

Our platform is designed to streamline your creative workflow. Easily upload videos by either importing from your device or dragging and dropping straight into the editor. With support for numerous video formats, including MOV, AVI, and MP4, we ensure that technicalities don't get in the way of your creativity.

Create your own perfect GIF

Once you upload your video, you're ready to start crafting your GIF. Begin by adjusting the framerate in the properties section. Choose from predefined options: 5, 10, 12, 15, 20, or 24 FPS. Keep in mind, the smoother the animation with a higher framerate, the larger the file size of your GIF.

Then, set your desired resolution. In the "Height" tab, pick from preset heights like 1080, 720, 480, or 360 pixels, or enter a custom value up to 1440 pixels. Again, a higher resolution results in a larger file size for your final GIF.

Each time you tweak one of these key elements you instantly get a glimpse of your final GIF in the "Video" section, so you can see how creation will look once produced. In the “Final output specs” tab, details like duration, resolution, and framerate are displayed helping you track your changes and tailor your GIF to your exact needs.

Produce and download

Once you've fine-tuned your settings, creating your customized GIF takes just one click. Hit "Convert & Download," and let us handle the magic. Your tailor-made GIF will download instantly, completely free of watermarks. If it's not quite what you wanted, no stress – click “Edit again” to adjust your settings and try a different approach.
