How it works
Converto grabs the first few seconds of your video and turns them into a looping GIF, encoding it with an FFmpeg build compiled to WebAssembly right in your browser tab. You choose how many seconds to include, and nothing is ever uploaded to a server.
Frequently asked questions
How do I turn a video clip into a GIF?
Upload an MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI or WebM file, set the GIF duration in seconds, and click Convert — Converto renders a looping GIF starting from the beginning of the clip.
Is there a limit on GIF duration?
You can pick between 1 and 20 seconds — longer clips produce a larger GIF file, since each frame is stored individually in the format.
Why is my GIF file so much bigger than the original video?
GIF is a much less efficient format than modern video codecs, so even a short clip can produce a sizeable file — that's normal and expected for the format.
