Video Trimmer — Cut Video to the Good Part
Cut a video down to the exact start and end you want — preview it in the page, set the times, and export just the good part, no upload needed.
Open toolVideo to GIF Converter
A two-second reaction, a product spin, a before-and-after — some things explain themselves better as a looping GIF than as a video file. This converter takes the slice of video you choose and renders it as an animated GIF with a proper colour palette (the two-step trick that keeps GIFs from looking grainy). You control the start point, the length, the width and the frame rate. Keep it short and narrow if you can: GIF is an old, heavy format, and a 5-second 320px clip is a friendly size while a 30-second HD one is not. Everything runs in your browser — the video never leaves your device.
Choose a file to begin — nothing is uploaded, everything happens on your device.
How to use this tool
- Choose a short video clip.
- Set the start time and length (keep it under about 10 seconds for a sane file size).
- Pick the width and frame rate — 320px at 12 fps suits most chats.
- Click Create GIF, preview it, then download.
Worked example
Three seconds of video at 10 fps became a 30-frame animated GIF in our test — exactly the clip length times the frame rate, no frames wasted.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my GIF file so big?
GIF stores every frame as an image — unlike video, it barely compresses between frames. Size grows with length × width × frame rate. Halving the width quarters the data per frame, so dropping from 480px to 320px and from 15 to 12 fps usually shrinks a GIF far more than trimming a second off the length.
How do I keep the colours looking right?
The tool generates a custom colour palette from your actual clip (the palettegen/paletteuse method) instead of using a generic web palette — that is why skin tones and gradients survive. It is the same two-step approach desktop FFmpeg guides recommend, folded into one command.
What is the best length for a GIF?
Two to six seconds is the classic range: long enough to land the moment, short enough to loop well and stay a sane file size. This tool allows up to 30 seconds, but files grow fast — for anything longer, a muted looping video (MP4) is honestly the better format.
Can I preview the GIF before downloading?
Yes — after conversion, use the download link to save it, then open the file; most browsers and chat apps play it in a loop automatically. The frame count in the result equals your length times the frame rate you picked.
