How to make and optimize a GIF

GIFs are perfect for short, looping moments — reactions, demos and memes. Making one is quick, and a little optimization keeps the file small enough to share anywhere.

Turn a video clip into a GIF

The most common way to make a GIF is from a short video. Pick the clip and convert it to a smooth, looping animation.

Optimize so it loads fast

GIFs can get heavy quickly. Lowering the frame rate and size keeps the animation smooth while making the file far smaller.
