Klipova

MP4 to GIF converter

Make an animated GIF from any part of a video

Your file is deleted from our server within an hour. We never share or keep your videos.

From video to GIF in three settings

GIFs are perfect for reactions, short tutorials, product demos and memes: they loop forever and play everywhere without a play button. Choose the moment from your video, set the length and size, and Klipova turns it into an animated GIF.

Better colours, smaller files

GIF can only show 256 colours per frame. Instead of a fixed palette, Klipova builds a custom palette for your clip first and then applies it, which keeps skin tones and gradients looking much cleaner than a basic conversion.

Settings

  • Start and length: pick the exact seconds you need, up to 30 seconds.
  • Width: 320, 480 or 640 pixels; height follows the video's shape.
  • Frame rate: 10, 15 or 20 frames per second — higher is smoother but larger.

Tips

  • Keep GIFs short — 2 to 6 seconds is usually enough.
  • Fast motion needs 15–20 fps; slides or text are fine at 10 fps.
  • If a platform supports video, a short MP4 looks better and is smaller than a GIF.

MP4 to GIF questions

How long can a GIF be?

Up to 30 seconds. GIFs get large quickly; most good GIFs are between 2 and 6 seconds.

Which width and frame rate should I choose?

480 px at 15 fps works well for chats and social media. Use 320 px or 10 fps for smaller files, and 640 px or 20 fps for smoother, sharper GIFs.

Why are GIFs so much bigger than videos?

The GIF format is very old and compresses poorly — it stores up to 256 colours per frame and no sound. A few seconds of GIF can be larger than a minute of MP4.

Do you add a watermark?

No. The GIF contains only your clip.

Will the GIF loop?

Yes. GIFs are set to loop forever, just like the ones you see in chats.
