Convert MOV to GIF
Make a silent GIF from a short iPhone or camera MOV clip. The browser converts locally and downscales to at most 480px wide at 12fps so the result is easier to share.

MOV files from phones and cameras are convenient source clips, but many comments, issue trackers, and quick documentation workflows are easier with a looping GIF. This converter uses ffmpeg.wasm in the page to generate the animation.
The GIF is not a full-quality video replacement. Audio is removed because GIF is silent, and frames are limited to 480px wide and 12fps to avoid the huge files produced by full-size camera footage.
Choose this for trimmed moments, UI examples, or short motion previews rather than long camera videos. The ffmpeg engine loads once from the same site at roughly 31 MB and the selected MOV remains in the browser.
Does this upload my files?
No. Everything on this page runs locally in your browser, so your files are never uploaded to a server. Close the tab and nothing is left behind. It even keeps working if you go offline after the page loads.
This is true for every tool on this site. Curious how that works? Read how browser-side processing works.
FAQ
Can MOV to GIF keep the original audio?
No. GIF has no audio track, so the output is a silent animated image.
Why did my MOV become smaller on screen?
MOV footage wider than 480px is downscaled before GIF encoding, and the animation is capped at 12fps for a manageable file size.
Should I convert a full phone video to GIF?
Usually no. GIF is best for short excerpts because long MOV files can convert slowly and produce oversized downloads.
