Video to GIF

Upload a video file, set the start and end times using the trim sliders, choose FPS and width, then click Convert. The tool creates an animated GIF from the selected segment.

Discord has an 8 MB file size limit for non-Nitro users. Use 320px width, 10 FPS, and keep the duration under 5 seconds. These settings typically produce GIFs under 5 MB.

Lower the FPS (10 is usually sufficient), reduce the width (320-480px), and trim the duration to the shortest clip needed. Each of these changes significantly reduces file size.

FPS (frames per second) controls how smooth the animation looks. 10 FPS is adequate for most GIFs. 15-20 FPS creates smoother motion but larger files. 5 FPS creates a choppy, stylized effect with the smallest file size.

There is no strict limit, but GIFs are best for short clips (2-15 seconds). Longer clips produce very large files because GIF is an uncompressed format. For longer animations, consider using WebM or MP4 instead.
