Save a Video’s Audio as MP3
Convert an MP4 or MOV video to MP3 with the tool’s fixed settings, then check the result for duration, silence, noise, and clipping.
Trim the clip in a separate step, choose a smaller GIF width and frame rate, then check motion, text, color, and file size.
Trim the video first with Trim MP4, then choose the GIF width and frame rate. Start around 480 pixels wide and 10 frames per second, lower either setting if the file is too large, and use MP4 instead when sound or smooth motion matters.
Shorten the video first, then use the width and frame-rate controls that the GIF tool provides.
Use Trim MP4 to keep only the moment that needs to loop and remove pauses at either end.
Upload the trimmed clip, then choose an output width from 320 to 1920 pixels or match the source.
Start at 10 fps. The tool offers 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, and 24 fps.
Check the loop and file size, then lower width or fps if the GIF is still too large.
Duration is one of the biggest reasons a GIF becomes large. Every extra second adds more full image frames.
The GIF converter controls output width and frames per second. It does not include video cropping or a color-quality setting.

GIF uses a limited color palette and does not carry normal video audio, so some clips will not translate well.
Video formats use stronger compression across frames. GIF stores a limited-color image for many frames, so even short clips can become large.
Trim the duration first in Trim MP4. In the GIF converter, lower output width and then frame rate until the file fits and the action is still clear.
No. Standard GIF files do not contain audio. Share a video instead if sound is important.
Use video for longer clips, smooth motion, detailed color, audio, captions, or cases where a smaller modern video file is accepted.
