step 1: Extract Video to frames

Click to add your video into Free Video to GIF Converter and it will show you the duration and size of your video. In most cases, you just need to set the start and end time, width and height for output gif file in this step.

In Step1, you can do:

1. Trim video to convert a segment of video to animated gif. Just set the start and end time. Note: The end time is 00:00:30 by default. The maximum value of end time is equal to the duration of source video.

2. Customize the width and height of output gif file.

3. Select extracting frame rate. You can change extracting frame rate from 1 to 20. If this value is bigger, the extracted frames will be more, but look more continuous. I suggest keeping the default value for begginers.

Step 2: Create GIF Animation from frames

Click to complete step1. The program will extract video to pictures and activate the Step2 tab window.

In Step2, you can do:

1. Remove the unwanted frames from the extracted pictures. Select a frame in the list box, and it will show in the preview window. Click Remove button to remove the unwanted frames.

2. You can change the play speed of the animation. This function allows you to make gif animation faster/slower than the source video. You can select Custom, then choose a new fps (frame rate). If this fps is bigger than extracting fps in Step 1, the animation looks faster; if equal, then the same; Otherwise slower.

3. You can select the output picture quality to get better color matching or smaller file size.

After all settings, click to merge the pictures into gif animation.
