What to expect
- Supported inputs
- MOV files, including iPhone and QuickTime recordings, and other videos this browser’s engine can read.
- What happens
- The selected part becomes a looping GIF with up to 255 colors, 480 pixels wide at 10 fps until you choose otherwise. The sound is left out, since GIFs have none.
- Limits
- The MOV needs a video track this browser can decode. GIFs are much larger than the MOV, so keep clips to a few seconds.

Questions
Yes. iPhone videos are MOV files. Drop one in, choose the part you want, and save it as a GIF on your device.
Yes. QuickTime and the macOS screenshot tool save screen recordings as MOV. Screen recordings have few colors, so they make especially clean GIFs.
GIF compresses far less than the H.264 or HEVC video inside a MOV. A smaller width, a lower frame rate, or a shorter clip keeps the file down.
