Example: a seamless loop made in Loop Factory, converted here at 360 px and 8 frames per second.
How to turn a video into a GIF
Three choices decide how the GIF looks and how heavy it is.
1
Pick the part
Set where the clip starts and how many seconds to keep, up to ten. Short beats long: a GIF repeats forever anyway.
2
Pick the size
480 pixels wide reads well in a chat or a README. Drop to 360 or 240 when the file has to be small.
3
Pick the frame rate
10 frames per second looks natural for most footage. 8 saves weight, 12 smooths fast motion.
Want the GIF to loop without a visible jump?
A GIF always repeats, but you still see the cut when the last frame does not match the first. Loop Factory closes that gap: it reads how your clip moves, carries the motion back to the first frame and hides the seam. Make the loop first, then convert it here and it plays forever with nothing to notice.
Choose your video file, pick the width and frame rate, set which seconds to keep, then convert. The GIF downloads straight to your device.
Which video formats can I convert to GIF?
MP4, MOV and WEBM files up to 25 MB. Up to 10 seconds of the clip become the GIF.
Why is my GIF so large?
A GIF stores every frame as a picture, so size grows with width, frame rate and length. 480 pixels at 10 frames per second for a few seconds usually stays around one megabyte.
Does the GIF have a watermark?
No. The GIF contains only your footage, with no watermark and no account needed.
How do I make the GIF loop without a visible cut?
A GIF repeats forever, but the jump back to the first frame shows unless the clip is a seamless loop. Loop Factory turns a clip into a seamless loop first, then the GIF plays with no visible cut.
Need the video itself?
Aura AI generates video from a photo or a written scene with the newest models, edits what you already have, and turns clips into seamless loops. The GIF converter above is free and needs no account; the studio needs one.
