How to convert a video to GIF

1
Add your clip
Drop in an MP4, MOV, WebM and M4V file. Short clips make the best GIFs.
2
Pick smoothness and size
A higher frame rate looks smoother. A smaller width keeps the file light.
3
Download the GIF
Preview the GIF on the page, then save it.

The file is processed inside your browser. It is never uploaded to Upstream or anyone else.

No account, no trial and nothing stamped on your video. Use it as often as you like.

There is no upload or queue. Processing starts right away and uses your computer, not a server.

Start from MP4, MOV, WebM, M4V files and download a GIF that plays everywhere.

Turn product walkthrough clips into lightweight GIFs for docs and landing pages.
Create reaction GIFs from stream highlight clips without opening a desktop editor.
Export looping social teasers that still work when autoplay is disabled.
