Summary

This tool converts MP4 video files to animated GIF format directly in your browser using the Canvas API. Frames are extracted from the video at your chosen frame rate, resized to your target width, and encoded into a GIF file — all on your device. No video data is ever uploaded to a server, making this a fast and private way to create shareable GIFs from short clips.

  2. Set the start time and duration of the clip you want to convert.
  3. Choose the output width, frame rate, and GIF quality.
  4. Click "Create GIF" to begin frame extraction and encoding.
  5. Preview the animated GIF in the browser, then download it.
