Convert videos to high-quality animated GIFs with professional two-pass palette optimization. Choose quality presets and export - all in your browser.
Perfect for social media, Slack, Discord, and more
Most free GIF converters use a single-pass process that produces dull, banded colors. Our converter uses the same two-pass technique as professional tools:
The result? GIFs that look dramatically better than quick conversions, with vibrant colors and smooth motion that rival the original video.
Unlike cloud-based converters that upload your video to a server, Kommodo's converter runs entirely in your browser using FFmpeg WebAssembly. Your video never leaves your device:
Choose your quality preset and click Convert. Your high-quality GIF is ready in seconds.
Professional palette optimization produces vibrant colors and smooth gradients like ezgif and Giphy.
Your videos stay on your device. No uploads, no cloud processing, complete privacy guaranteed.
Export as WebP for 30% smaller files with identical quality. Works in all modern browsers.
Choose from Maximum (720p), Balanced (540p), or Small (480p) to get the perfect balance of quality and file size.
Click to browse or drag and drop your MP4, WebM, or MOV file.
Select Maximum, Balanced, or Small preset based on your needs.

Drop your video file into the converter above. Choose your quality settings and click Convert. Your GIF is created directly in your browser - no account or uploads required.
Our "Maximum" quality preset uses two-pass palette optimization with sierra2_4a dithering at 720p and 15fps - the same technique used by professional tools like ezgif. For most uses, "Balanced" (540p, 12fps) offers great quality with smaller file sizes.
For best results, trim your video using a free tool like QuickTime (Mac) or the Photos app (Windows) before converting. This keeps your GIF focused and reduces file size.
No. All conversion happens directly in your browser using FFmpeg WebAssembly. Your video file never leaves your device, ensuring complete privacy.
The converter supports MP4, WebM, MOV, and most common video formats. If your browser can play it, we can likely convert it to GIF.
GIFs are uncompressed and can get large quickly. Try: reducing resolution (480p or 320p), lowering FPS to 8-10, trimming to a shorter duration, or using WebP format which is 30% smaller than GIF with the same quality.
Both support animation, but WebP offers 30% smaller file sizes with equivalent quality. WebP works in all modern browsers but GIF has universal support including older apps and email clients.
For most GIFs, 10-12 FPS looks smooth while keeping file size manageable. Use 15+ FPS for fast action content. Lower FPS (8-10) is fine for simple animations and significantly reduces file size.
Slack and Discord have file size limits (around 8MB for Slack, 8-10MB for Discord). Use "Small" quality preset (480p, 10fps), keep duration under 5 seconds, and use WebP if the platform supports it.
Yes, if you use a modern mobile browser like Chrome on Android or Safari on iOS. The converter works on mobile, though conversion may be slower than on desktop due to processing power differences.
