How to make a GIF from a video or photos

GIF Studio makes a GIF from a video clip or a set of images, and it also compresses, crops and speeds up existing GIFs. You can download the result as a GIF, as a lightweight MP4, or as a Telegram video sticker. Everything is processed in your browser, and your files aren't uploaded anywhere.

How to use it

Click "Open video or images" or drag in files: an MP4, MOV or WebM video, JPG, PNG or WebP images, or an existing GIF.

For a video, select a segment with the sliders, set the frames per second (8–24), and click "Make GIF".

Adjust the size and frame format, speed, rotation and caption. The preview plays right away.

Choose what to download: GIF, MP4 or "TG sticker".

For a GIF, choose a quality or a size limit and click "Download".

Settings and tips

Size: "Original", 1:1, 9:16, 16:9 or 4:5. You can crop the edges or fit the whole frame onto a colored or transparent background. Width ranges from 120 to 720 px.

Speed from 0.5× to 2×, plus "Reverse" and "Boomerang". For images, you set the frame duration — from 50 ms to 3 s.

Rotate by 90° and flip horizontally or vertically. Add a caption of up to 80 characters at the top or bottom.

Image frames can be reordered by dragging and deleted one by one. The "Add images" button adds more to the strip.

To make a GIF smaller, reduce the width to 320–480 px, choose "Lighter", or set "Max size" — the studio will pick the dimensions for you. For social media, use MP4: it's usually 5–10 times smaller than a GIF.

A TG sticker is built to Telegram's requirements: WebM, 512 px, up to 3 seconds and up to 256 KB. Send the file to the @Stickers bot.

Limitations

Up to 30 seconds of video and no more than 240 frames. For longer segments, the frame rate is lowered automatically.

Up to 100 images. The maximum output width is 720 px.

There's no audio in either GIF or MP4.

MP4 requires Chrome, Edge or Safari; stickers require Chrome or Edge.

GIFs are limited to 256 colors, so smooth gradients may show banding.

Privacy

Videos and images are not uploaded to a server — your browser extracts and encodes the frames. Only the encoder libraries (from jsDelivr) are downloaded from the internet. The site collects visit statistics: Cloudflare Web Analytics without cookies, while Yandex Metrica and Google Analytics load only if you've accepted cookies. Learn more in our privacy policy.

For individual frames, try online photo compression and photo cropping. You can also generate a video for your GIF with AI — the video prompt generator will build the prompt.

GIF FAQ

How do I make a GIF from a video on my phone?

Open the page in your phone's browser, pick a video from your gallery, mark a segment, and tap "Make GIF". On low-end phones, it's best to use a short segment.

How do I compress a GIF to 1 or 2 MB?

Open the finished GIF, select 1 or 2 MB in the "Max size" field, and click "Download". The studio will reduce the dimensions automatically.

Will there be a watermark?

No. The studio adds no watermarks and works without signing up.
