How do I convert a video to GIF online for free?

Upload your MP4, WebM, or MOV file to Nexifr's Video to GIF Converter. Set the start and end time to clip only the part you need, choose your preferred FPS and width, then click Convert. Your GIF is generated server-side using FFmpeg and downloaded directly to your device — no account or watermark required.

What is the best FPS for a GIF?

10–15 FPS is the sweet spot for most animated GIFs. It produces smooth enough motion while keeping file sizes manageable. Use 5 FPS for slideshows or text-heavy clips, and 20–24 FPS for fast-moving content like sports or gaming highlights.

How large can my video file be?

Nexifr supports video files up to 50 MB. For the best GIF results, we recommend converting short clips of 3–15 seconds — longer clips produce very large GIF files. Use the Start Time and End Time fields to select only the segment you need.

Why does my GIF look different from the original video?

GIFs are limited to 256 colours per frame, while video supports millions. Nexifr uses FFmpeg's palettegen and paletteuse filters with Bayer dithering and lanczos scaling to maximise colour fidelity, but some colour banding is inherent to the GIF format. Lowering the output width or FPS can also improve colour quality.

What video formats can I convert to GIF?

Nexifr supports MP4 (H.264/H.265), WebM (VP8/VP9), MOV (QuickTime), and OGG video. MP4 is recommended for the best compatibility and conversion speed.
