Convert MP4 to GIF
Turn any MP4 video clip into an animated GIF for sharing on forums, messaging apps, and platforms that support GIF but not video. Trim, resize, and convert entirely in your browser. No upload, no install, your video stays private.
How to finish the conversion

Open FastEdit
Visit app.fastedit.net.
- 02
Import your MP4
Drag and drop your .mp4 video clip.
- 03
Trim the clip
Select the segment you want as a GIF. Shorter clips produce smaller GIFs, so aim for 3-10 seconds.
- 04
Set GIF options
Adjust frame rate (10-15 fps is typical for GIF), resolution (smaller = much smaller file size), and color palette.
- 05
Export
Download your GIF. Frame extraction and GIF encoding run locally in WebAssembly.
