How to turn your video into a GIF
GIF is not a video, but an image format, as, technically, it’s just a sequence of several pictures. That means, that when you convert video to a GIF the result will be mute (pictures don’t have sound). Also, as this format is quite old and primitive (though no less popular), it may be larger than the original file, and the color scheme will be simplified to 8 bits (256 colors).
Clideo offers you one of the most user-friendly and convenient video-to-GIF converters, not only because of the intuitively comprehensive interface but also because our tool accepts various formats as inputs. With its help, you can not only convert MP4 to GIF or WEBM to GIF, but also turn into this format another two dozen video extensions, and the list is being updated.
This tool is not just a GIF creator, it works all ways: as an image, audio, or GIF-to-video converter, and vice versa.
The output will not have a watermark and you can process files up to 500 MB for free, without even signing up or subscribing to Clideo Pro.
As with all other Clideo services, the converter is easy to use. But just in case you need additional help, here is a short manual on how to make a GIF from a video in three steps.
Upload the initial file
Open Video to Gif Converter in any browser, as the tool works online and is compatible with all device types and operating systems.
Hit the "Get started" button and select a file from your local storage. You can upload and convert just one asset at a time, but you can repeat as many times as you need.
Turn the video into a GIF
In the drop-down list with conversion options, hover over the image icon and choose GIF. Now you can convert your video file in just one click.
We suggest keeping your video short, to make your GIF file smaller. You can trim your file in one of our tools: Video Cutter or Video Editor.
The tool doesn’t allow bulk file uploading and converting, even if they are the same type.
Save the converted file
As soon as the file is converted, save it to your device right away, as it will not be stored in the projects. After that, you can return to the previous step and choose another output format or upload and convert a new file immediately without exiting the tool.
