MOV to GIF Converter
Turn a MOV from an iPhone, a Mac screen recording or a camera into a GIF. Pick the part you want and see the loop and its size first. The video is read on your device and never uploaded.
or drop it anywhere on the page. MP4, MOV and WebM work; other formats depend on your browser.
About this converter
- iPhone and Mac videos: MOV files play in Safari, Chrome and Edge. Newer iPhone videos use HEVC, which Firefox can't play; if a file won't open, try another browser. Screen recordings from a Mac (QuickTime) are MOV too.
- Nothing is uploaded. Your browser reads the video and builds the GIF on your device. No account, no watermark, no length cap of ours.
- Size before you wait. The estimate updates as you change the settings, as a range. Pick a limit under "Fit under" and the width and frame rate are lowered just enough to fit, and the page tells you what it changed.
- Crop, captions, speed and reverse are all applied in one go, on the same page. Captions can show for the whole GIF or only part of it.
- Why GIFs get big: size grows with width × height × number of frames. A shorter selection or a smaller width does more than anything else.
- Smoothness: GIF timing is in hundredths of a second, so only some frame rates are exact. The choices here are the exact ones.
- Size limits were read on each platform's own help pages on 4 October 2026: Discord 20 MB for free accounts and 256 KB for emoji, X 15 MB, GitHub 10 MB, GIPHY 8 MB recommended, Slack emoji 128 KB and 50 frames.
- Formats: if your browser can play the video, this page can convert it. iPhone videos (HEVC) may not play in Firefox.
