Just the scene you want
Open an MP4, MOV or other video and set the start and end with the slider. The ±1s and ±0.1s buttons fine-tune the start and end times separately, so you can cut out exactly the moment you don't want to miss.

SCREENSHOTS
FEATURES
Features
Photos stitched into one animation
Pick several photos and GifUp strings them together into an animated GIF. Use burst shots, everyday snaps or meme images to make your own.
Rework GIFs you already have
Open an existing GIF, change its frame rate, size or loop mode, and save it again.
Up to 30 FPS
Set the frame rate yourself, up to 30 FPS. Go higher for smooth motion or lower for a smaller file. The app recommends 10 to 30 FPS.
Resize from 10% to 100%
Drag the slider to scale the resolution anywhere from 10% to 100% and fit the upload limits of messaging apps and communities.
Loop forever or play once
Choose whether the GIF loops endlessly or plays once and stops.
FILE SIZE
How to make a GIF smaller
A GIF's file size grows roughly with width × height × number of frames. The same clip can end up very different in size depending on the frame rate and resolution you pick.
If you hit an upload limit, shorten the clip first, then lower the resolution, and lower the frame rate last. Halving the resolution cuts the pixels in each frame to about a quarter.
Example · assumed numbers
A 3 second clip at 30 FPS has 90 frames, and at 15 FPS it has 45. With half the frames, the file shrinks to roughly half its size.
Dropping the resolution from 100% to 50% on top of that leaves about a quarter of the pixels in each frame, shrinking the file a lot further.

Which video formats can I turn into a GIF?
