Turn a video into a GIF: common questions
Does the GIF have sound?
No. The GIF format has no sound; if you need it, share the trimmed video.
Why is my GIF so large?
A GIF stores every frame. Lower the length, width or frames per second.
Is my video uploaded?
No. It is processed on your device and not sent to any server.

Yes. The free tools in this guide run in your browser and add no watermark.
