Make a short GIF without uploading.

A few seconds is enough for a README or a help doc. Pick a video, set the start and length, and download a GIF. Encoding happens in this tab. The limit is 6 seconds so the page stays usable.

How to use

Make a short GIF without uploading

  1. Choose a video Up to 100 MB. The browser reads it. Nothing is posted.
  2. Set the range Start time plus up to 6 seconds. Output is 8 fps and at most 360 px wide.
  3. Download the GIF Colors are reduced to a fixed palette. For a real Short, use Clip Nugget.

FAQ

Questions about this comparison

Is the video uploaded?

No. Frames are read and encoded in this tab.

Why 6 seconds?

A longer GIF is huge and slow to encode in a tab. Six seconds is the cap.

Will the GIF look like the video?

It is a reduced-color preview, not a master. Fine for a loop, not for publishing a Short.

Does this add a watermark?

No.
