Frequently asked questions
How do I convert MOV to GIF?
Upload your MOV file, make sure GIF is selected as the output format, and click Convert. Your GIF file downloads in seconds. No account or software is needed.
Is this MOV to GIF converter free?
Yes. It is completely free, with no signup, no watermark and no limit on how many files you convert.
Will I lose quality converting MOV to GIF?
The file is re-encoded at high quality, so the result looks and sounds nearly identical. Lossy formats always discard a little data, so keep the original if you need a perfect master.
Why won't my MOV file play?
MOV is an Apple format, and some players on Windows and Android can't decode it. Converting to MP4 makes it play everywhere.

Your file is processed once, in memory, to make the converted copy. It is not stored on our server or shared with anyone.
Can I convert several MOV files at once?
Yes. Drop several MOV files together and they are converted in one go. You can download them individually or as a ZIP.
What is the maximum file size?
Files up to 100 MB are supported. Larger videos and very large images may take a little longer to process.
