Convert MOV files to GIF free in your browser — no signup, no install, and the file is never uploaded to a server. GIF opens almost anywhere, so the result works where MOV did not.
Add your MOV file
Drag the MOV file onto the drop area above, or click it to pick a file from your device. You can add several files at once.
Confirm GIF as the output
GIF is already selected as the output format on this page. You can set the output width and height. Quality stays untouched because this format is lossless.
Run the conversion
Press the convert button. Video is re-encoded frame by frame on your own machine, so a long clip can take several minutes. The tab has to stay open.
Download the GIF file
When it finishes, download the GIF file. Converting multiple files gives you the option to download them together as a ZIP.
Apple's video container and the default for footage shot or edited on iPhone and Mac. It is edit-friendly but tends to produce large files.
An older format limited to 256 colors, still widely used because it can hold multiple frames for short animations. It supports on/off transparency but not partial opacity.
Yes. MOV to GIF conversion is completely free with no signup, no watermark, and no daily limit on the free plan for ordinary use.
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so the MOV file never leaves your device. That is also why it works without an internet connection once the page has loaded.
It can go either way. Both formats are lossless, so nothing is thrown away — the size difference comes from how each one packs the same data.
The free plan handles files up to 200MB. Because processing happens on your own device, very large files depend on your computer's memory rather than a server quota.
