How to convert Video to GIF

1

Upload your video

Drag and drop the file, or click to browse. Files up to 500 MB are supported, and nothing is installed.

2

Confirm GIF as the output

GIF is already selected, so there is nothing to configure. You can switch formats in the panel if you need to.

3

Convert and download

We convert on our servers, usually in under a minute. Create a free account to download the GIF, or keep editing the file in REQO.

Why convert Video to GIF?

Start from whatever you already have: MP4, MOV, WebM, AVI, MKV, WMV, FLV and the rest all go in the same way.

Every source format has its own quirks, which is exactly why converting to one standard format is simpler.

GIF solves that. Auto-plays and loops in email, docs, issue trackers and chat apps where video is blocked. Needs no player, no controls and no click to start.

Any common video file works as the source: MP4, MOV, WebM, AVI and the rest. Trim first, convert second - GIF has no interframe compression, so length drives file size far more than resolution does.

FAQ

Video to GIF questions

Is the Video to GIF converter free?

Yes. Convert and preview the result for free, then create a free account to download it. There is no per-file charge and no watermark on the GIF itself beyond the free-plan badge.

Do I need to install any software?

No. The conversion runs on our servers and the whole flow happens in your browser, so it works the same on Windows, macOS, Linux, iPhone and Android.

Does converting Video to GIF reduce the quality?

Visibly, yes. GIF is limited to 256 colours, so gradients and camera footage band. It is the right format for short UI loops and reaction clips, not for anything you want to look sharp.

How large a file can I convert?

Up to 500 MB per file. For anything bigger, trim or compress it first, both are free tools here.

Is my file kept private?

Your upload is processed and then held only as long as your project needs it. Nothing is published, indexed or shared unless you create a share link yourself.
