01
Open Video to GIF in Process
Open Process, then tap Video to GIF.
02
Choose the video to process
In Select Video, tap Choose from Photos or Choose from Files and select your video. You can import a video even when the download list is empty.
03
Choose the clip and preset
Preview the imported video, then inspect Presets and Clip Range. This example uses Custom and retains about six seconds.
Custom and starred presets
Custom lets you choose settings yourself. Clear*, Smooth*, and Long* provide presets for detail, smoothness, or longer clips. A star marks VIP access.
Clip Range: keep the action you need
Drag the round handles to set start and end points. The selected times and duration appear above. Longer clips generally need more frames and space. Clips longer than 10 seconds require VIP.
04
Set frame rate and width
Scroll to Frame Rate, Width, and the size estimate, then tap Start Processing. This example uses 8fps and width 360; the estimate is about 1.2 MB and 48 frames.
Frame Rate: frames per second
Options are 6, 8, 12, 15*, and 24* fps. More frames can make motion smoother but increase size. Try 8fps for simple movement and compare higher rates for faster action. 15 and 24fps are marked VIP.
Width: pixels across the GIF
Choices are 240, 360, 540, and 720*. More pixels may retain more detail and increase size; 720 requires VIP. Enlarging the output cannot recover detail missing from the source.
An estimate is not the final size
Six seconds at 8fps is about 48 frames. Compression also depends on picture complexity, so check the exported file. GIF has no sound; use video if audio is needed.
05
Save the generated GIF
When Processing Complete appears, tap Save to Photos to save the GIF or Share File to share it. Done closes the dialog. Open the saved GIF in an app that supports animation.
Troubleshooting
The GIF is too large
Shorten the clip first, then reduce width or frame rate. Change one setting at a time to find an acceptable balance.
Frequently asked questions
Why is there no sound?
GIF does not carry audio. Use a video format if sound is required.
Why do some options have a star?
The page marks clips over 10 seconds, high frame rates, width 720, and presets as VIP features.
