About MOV to GIF conversion
MOV is Apple's QuickTime container, common for iPhone and Mac screen recordings. This tool decodes it in-browser and renders an animated GIF using a two-pass palette for clean colors. Because everything happens on your device, your footage stays private — ideal for personal clips you'd rather not send to a server.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I convert an iPhone video to GIF?
- Yes — iPhone videos are MOV (or sometimes HEVC MP4). Drop the file in and it converts in your browser. For long clips, trim to the moment you want first.

GIF is best for short silent loops. For longer videos, audio, or better quality per megabyte, use the private video compressor. If your output is unexpectedly large, read why GIF files get so large and how to shrink them, or use the guide to compress video without uploading it.
