How do I turn a video into a GIF?

Add a video, set where the GIF should start and how long it lasts (up to 30 seconds), then choose the width and smoothness. 480 pixels wide at 12 frames per second is a good balance for chats and websites. The colours are optimised for each GIF to keep it looking clean.

Everything happens in your browser, so the video is never uploaded.
