How to Turn a Video Into a GIF? Choosing FPS and Size
Want to make a reaction GIF from a clip? This guide covers converting video to GIF online and how frame rate (FPS) and width affect size and clarity.
A GIF is essentially “a sequence of still frames played in a loop”, so its size is very sensitive to frame rate and dimensions: higher FPS and greater width mean a bigger file.
For reaction GIFs or demos, 10–15 FPS at 480P is usually enough and stays small; bump to 20–25 FPS at 720P to keep more detail.
This site converts video to GIF in your browser with FFmpeg (WebAssembly) — the video is never uploaded, making it safe for private footage.
GIF does not support audio, so sound is lost. To keep audio, use a video format such as MP4 instead.
