Video to GIF
Turn a few seconds of a video into an animated GIF, with a palette computed from the real frames — in your browser, nothing uploaded.
What it does
Video to GIF works on MP4, MOV, WEBM, MKV and AVI with ffmpeg and audio engines compiled for the browser, so the recording or video is processed by your own computer or phone — the same programs a desktop editor uses, without installing one.
When you need it
Usually right before sending or publishing: a video too heavy for WhatsApp, a voice note full of hum, a clip that needs captions because the feed plays it muted, an interview to turn into text.
Limits and caveats
Long or high-resolution files take as long as your device needs, and a phone is slower than a laptop. The engines download once, the first time, and come from KIVO itself. The original file is never changed: you always download a new one. Everything happens in your browser, so the file never leaves your device.

Frequently asked questions
- Why only a few seconds?
- Because a GIF barely compresses between frames: every second weighs as much as a dozen photos. Ten seconds easily becomes tens of megabytes.
- Do my files get uploaded?
- No. This tool runs entirely in your browser, so the file never leaves your device.
