MOV → GIF

Manual

1. Why convert MOV to GIF

   Cut out a funny moment or expression from an iPhone MOV video and turn it into a reaction GIF for Slack, Discord and similar chats, or a loopable GIF for social media. GIFs are lighter to share than sending the raw video, and they auto-play as a loop.

2. How to use it

   (1) Drag and drop your MOV file onto the drop zone, or click it to choose one. (2) Set a start time and a length in seconds (leave both blank to use the first 10 seconds automatically). (3) Pick a frame rate (10/15/24fps) and a width (320/480/640px) — for a chat reaction GIF, keep the width around 320–480px so it stays quick to load and share. (4) Press 'Convert to GIF'; processing runs in two stages — palette analysis, then GIF export — and a preview plus a download button appear once it finishes.

3. No sound, and there's a length limit

   GIF simply can't store audio, so sound is always dropped. File size also grows quickly with length, frame rate and width, so exports are capped at 30 seconds (with a warning shown for anything past 10 seconds).

4. FAQ

   Can I use a MOV video shot on an iPhone directly?

   Yes — drop the MOV file straight from your iPhone onto the drop zone and it will convert.

   What's a good setting for a chat reaction GIF?

   Trim the start time and length down to a couple of seconds and keep the width around 320–480px for a light, quick-to-share GIF.

   Can I keep the audio in the GIF?

   No — the GIF format simply can't store audio. Share the original video if you need the sound.

   Is there a length limit?

   Yes — GIF isn't great for long clips, so exports are capped at 30 seconds.
