Convert MOV to GIF
Make a shareable GIF from a QuickTime screen recording or iPhone clip.
- Your MOV file never leaves your device
- No sign-up, no watermark, no daily quota
- Handles files up to about 900 MB — your browser's memory ceiling
What happens when you convert MOV to GIF
Turns a QuickTime clip into a looping animated GIF at 12 frames per second and 480 pixels wide, using Lanczos scaling for a clean downsize. Output covers the first 30 seconds, because GIF stores frames with almost no temporal compression.
Good for
- Turning a screen recording from a Mac or iPhone into a shareable loop
- Adding a short demo to a README, ticket or chat message
- Posting where GIF autoplays but video does not
Worth knowing
- Limited to the first 30 seconds; trim first if the moment you want is later.
- Sound is discarded.
- Retina screen recordings are scaled down to 480 pixels wide, so fine text may become unreadable.
