Turn any video into a high-definition animated GIF or WebP. Paste a link, or upload a file from your device — pick the exact moment you want and export it in seconds.
No account needed to paste a link.
Paste a video link into the box above, or upload a file straight from your device.
Scrub through the clip and set your start point and duration down to the frame.
Choose GIF or WebP, pick a resolution, and download it — or save it to your profile.
| Source | How it works |
|---|---|
| Video files you own | Upload MP4, MOV or MKV directly from your computer or phone. |
| Video links | Paste a URL and we fetch the video for you — no downloading it yourself first. |
| Social & streaming clips | Links from hundreds of video sites are supported, including embedded players. |
| Long recordings | Trim a short moment out of a long video without converting the whole file. |
Most online converters resize your video aggressively and then map it onto a generic 256-colour palette. That is where the muddy gradients, blocky skies and washed-out skin tones in a typical web-made GIF come from — the damage is done by the palette, not the resolution.
GifRun runs a full FFmpeg pipeline instead. Every clip gets a colour palette generated from its own frames, so a sunset keeps its gradient and a dark scene keeps its detail rather than banding into flat blocks. Combined with export resolutions up to 2K, the result stays sharp on a large display instead of looking like a thumbnail that was stretched to fit.
| GIF | WebP | |
|---|---|---|
| Works everywhere | Yes, universally | All current browsers |
| File size | Larger | Much smaller |
| Colour quality | 256 colours | Full colour |
| Best for | Forums, chat, older sites | Websites and anywhere you control the platform |
Not sure? Export a GIF. It is the safe choice, and you can always come back and re-export the same clip as WebP.
You can upload MP4, MOV or MKV files directly from your device. You can also paste a link to a video hosted somewhere else — WebM, AVI and most other common containers are handled automatically when we pull the video in for you.
Anonymous use is capped at 10 seconds per clip. A free account raises that to 20 seconds, and a subscription removes the duration cap and unlocks resolutions up to 2K.
Free exports carry a small watermark. Subscribers export completely clean files with no watermark and no branding.
No. The converter runs in your browser and works without an account. Signing up is only needed if you want longer clips, higher resolution, or a place to save your creations.
Most web converters downscale aggressively and use a generic colour palette. We run a full FFmpeg pipeline that generates a palette tuned to your specific clip, which keeps gradients smooth and avoids the banding you normally see in web-made GIFs.
GIF works everywhere and is the safe choice for forums, chat apps and older sites. WebP produces much smaller files at noticeably better quality and is supported by every current browser — pick it when you control where the file will be used.
