A short video moment, ready to loop as GIF or WebP

Audo's video to GIF converter turns MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, and AVI videos up to 2 GB into looping animated GIF and WebP files without an account, with clip ranges up to 5 minutes free, 10 times a day, and no sign-up. Whether you are converting MP4 to GIF for a product changelog or MOV to GIF from an iPhone screen recording, you can trim the exact start and end seconds right on the page and see the output file size, dimensions, and frame count.

Instead of a generic fixed palette that causes heavy speckling, Audo generates a custom per-clip color palette with Sierra dithering so skin tones, UI text, and gradients stay clean across every frame.

Questions

Is Audo's video to GIF converter free?

Audo makes GIF and WebP animations up to 5 minutes long free, 10 times a day, without signing up. Paid runs cost $0.01 a minute ($0.60 an hour) of the selected range, with a minimum of $0.01 per job, charged only when it succeeds. There is no subscription.

How do I convert MP4 to GIF or MOV to GIF without a huge file size?

Choose a tight clip range first: a two-second reaction or UI step needs far fewer frames than a whole scene. Lower the width for chat, GitHub, or email, then lower the frame rate if the motion still reads clearly. Audo's optional size target automatically steps down width, frames per second, and GIF palette colors until the animation fits your megabyte cap.

Should I choose animated GIF or video to WebP?

GIF is universally supported across Slack, Discord, GitHub READMEs, email clients, and docs, though its 256-color palette can show banding in smooth gradients. Choosing WebP (video to WebP) supports full color and usually produces a significantly smaller file. Both formats play silently without audio.

Can I turn a YouTube video into a GIF?

For a YouTube video to GIF, first download a video file you own or have permission to use. Upload that MP4 or WebM file to Audo and select the start and end seconds you want to loop. This page converts uploaded video files rather than YouTube watch-page URLs.

How do frame rate, width, and loop count work?

Audo defaults to 15 frames per second and 480 pixels wide while preserving your video's aspect ratio. Use up to 30 fps for fast motion or 5–10 fps for a clean software walkthrough. A repeat count of 0 loops forever; enter a positive number if the animation should stop after a set number of plays.
