Drop or select your video file on this page. Set the start and end times for the clip you want, adjust the frame rate and width, then click Create GIF. Everything runs in your browser - no upload, no signup, no cost, and no watermark on the output.
VidShift supports all common video formats: MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, OGV, M4V, and MPEG-TS. Any video that plays in your browser can be converted to GIF.
Lower the frame rate (10 fps is good for most uses), reduce the width (320px or 480px), and keep the clip short. The estimated file size updates live as you change these settings. For longer clips, consider trimming the video first to keep only the best part.
There is no hard limit, but GIFs are best for short clips. Clips over 15 seconds can produce very large files. The tool shows a warning if the estimated size exceeds recommended limits. For best results, keep clips under 10-15 seconds.
15 fps is a good default - it looks smooth and keeps the file size reasonable. Use 10 fps for smaller files where smoothness is less important. Use 24 fps for the smoothest result, but expect a larger file. Standard video is typically 24-30 fps, so even 15 fps captures most of the motion.
No. VidShift never adds watermarks, logos, or overlays to your files. The GIF output is clean and exactly as you configured it. Many other online GIF makers add watermarks unless you pay - VidShift is completely free.
