What to expect
- Supported inputs
- MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, and other videos this browser’s engine can read.
- What happens
- The selected part becomes a looping GIF with up to 255 colors. The sound is left out, since GIFs have none.
- Limits
- A video track is required. GIFs are much larger than videos of the same length, so keep clips short: a few seconds at 480 pixels wide is a few megabytes.

Questions
Any length, but every second adds to the file. For chat apps and social posts, 2 to 10 seconds at 480 pixels wide and 10 fps usually stays under a few megabytes.
10 fps is the classic GIF look and keeps files small. 15 or 20 fps moves more smoothly and makes a larger file.
Yes. Open the MOV from your phone, choose the part you want, and save it as a GIF.
A GIF holds at most 256 colors, so smooth gradients such as skies show bands. Scenes with fewer colors, like screen recordings and cartoons, look closest to the original.
