Turn any clip into a smooth, perfectly-colored animated GIF — right in your browser.
Processed on your device — nothing is uploaded
A global palette is generated from your clip for the best possible GIF colors.
About the Video to GIF
Create reaction GIFs, bug reproductions or demo loops from any video. ToolNest generates a global color palette from your clip — the trick behind great-looking GIFs — and encodes it locally with FFmpeg, so your file stays on your device.
Choose the frame rate and width that fit your use: small 320px GIFs for chat apps, or 640px at 15fps for crisp product demos. The GIF loops forever.

Frequently asked questions
Why use a palette?
GIFs only support 256 colors. ToolNest builds a palette from your exact footage first, which is why the colors look right instead of banded and blotchy.
Why is my GIF file large?
GIF is an old, inefficient format. Lower the width or frame rate to shrink it, or keep the video as MP4 when possible.
Does the GIF loop?
Yes, it loops forever automatically.
