Key Features of Video to GIF Converter

Precise Time Selection

Set start and end times to extract any segment from the video — no longer limited to capturing the first N seconds. Changing the start time automatically seeks the video for preview, making it easy to find the perfect moment.

Text Overlay / Meme Captions

Add custom text on every GIF frame with four size options (S/M/L/XL), any color, and three positions (top/center/bottom). Black stroke ensures text readability on any background — the essential feature for meme creation.

Reverse / Boomerang

Three play modes: normal, reverse (backwards playback), and boomerang (forward then backward loop). Boomerang is a popular social media effect — generate it with one click, no manual editing.

Spatial Cropping

Toggle on cropping to reveal a draggable crop box over the video. Drag corners to resize, drag center to reposition — only the area inside the box appears in the final GIF. Perfect for isolating a specific person or region.

MP4/MOV/WebM + Pure Browser

Three major video formats supported. Frame rate, color depth, and output size are adjustable. Uses Canvas frame extraction + gifenc pure JavaScript encoding — fully local processing for privacy.
