About the Video to GIF
The Img Stop Video to GIF Converter turns a clip from a video into an animated GIF. Add an MP4, WebM or MOV file, choose the start and end time of the part you want, and set the frames per second from 5 to 25, the GIF width and the playback speed.
The video is decoded right in your browser, so it is never uploaded – this also means it works with the video formats your browser can play. No sign-up and no watermark.
