Free GIF maker

With Vimeo’s free GIF maker, you can make a GIF from a video in seconds. Start with a video from your Vimeo Create library or upload a new clip, then go into our animated GIF maker. From there, select your start and end times (up to 6 seconds in length!) to create your own custom GIF for free.

Yes, easily convert videos into GIFs on your phone using our mobile-friendly Vimeo app for iPhone and Android. Enjoy the flexibility of transforming your videos into shareable GIFs directly from your mobile device.

You can personalize your GIFs in a variety of ways. Add text, stickers, and adjust settings to match your style and messaging preferences.

GIFs can be up to six seconds. To make sure your GIFs are viewable across your marketing channels and retain the best quality, use our GIF maker to create them with the proper specs. Square GIFs are best, with an ideal size of 480 pixels by 480 pixels, although a 3:2 or 2:3 aspect ratio also works. In general, you’ll want to keep them under 100 MB in size to avoid compression that can reduce their quality. The more frames per second, the larger the GIF file size, so aim for 15 to 24 frames per second.

Our GIF maker supports a variety of video file formats, including popular ones like MP4, M4V, MOV, FLV, AVI, and WMV, providing versatility when creating GIFs from different types of video content.
