Everything runs locally inside your browser tab using WebAssembly. Your personal clips and screen recordings never touch a remote server, and you never wait in an upload queue.

Free Online GIF Maker, Video to GIF & MP4 to GIF Converter

Want to turn a screen recording, gameplay clip, or photo sequence into a looping animation? With AnimTool's free online GIF maker and video to GIF converter, you never have to upload gigabytes of video to a slow cloud server or deal with watermarks. Because all decoding and encoding happen locally on your device, converting MP4 to GIF, WebM to GIF, or MOV to GIF is practically instant.

Looking for a modern, private Ezgif alternative? Beyond classic 256-color GIFs, our GIF creator lets you make animated WebP, APNG (24-bit color with full alpha transparency), or ultra-compact animated AVIF files-ideal for Discord GIFs, Slack emotes, and high-FPS web animations.

Pro Tips for Smaller, High-Quality GIFs

  • Discord GIF Maker & Size Control: For Discord GIFs (under 10 MB) and Slack emotes, 12–15 FPS at 480px width looks smooth while keeping file size tiny. Use 24–30 FPS for HD clips.
  • Optimize & Compress GIFs: Enable Per-frame adaptive palettes when your video has changing lighting, or use a global palette with light dithering to act as a built-in GIF compressor.
  • All-in-One GIF Editor: Once your animation is built, click Crop GIF, Resize GIF, or Add Text to GIF right below the preview to keep editing without re-uploading.

How to Make a GIF from Video (MP4/MOV) or Images

  1. Drop your video or photos: Drag an MP4, WebM, or MOV video-or select multiple PNG, JPG, WebP, AVIF images (or a ZIP archive)-into the GIF generator above.
  2. Trim video or arrange frames: For video to GIF, set start/end timestamps and FPS. For image to GIF, drag frames to reorder, adjust delays (in 1/100s), or toggle frames on/off.
  3. Pick output format & dimensions: Choose GIF, WebP, APNG, or AVIF, set your target pixel width, and configure loop count or crossfade transitions.
  4. Create GIF & download: Click generate to preview your looping animation immediately and save it-or pass it straight to GIF Resizer or GIF Caption Maker.
