About MOV to GIF
Turn a short iPhone clip or screen capture into a looping GIF for chats, docs, or bug reports.
Choose the start time, length, width, and frame rate. A two-pass palette keeps colors clean, but GIFs have no sound and grow large quickly — keep clips short and narrow.
The FFmpeg engine (about 31 MB) downloads the first time you convert and is then cached by your browser. Files up to about 100 MB are supported because everything runs in browser memory.
