GIF Maker

Create animated GIFs from MP4/WebM video or a series of images. Trim clips, add captions, control speed and FPS, auto-compress for Discord, and download without watermarks — all in your browser.

Bottom Line: MakerHub GIF Maker is a free in-browser animated GIF encoder. It converts MP4, WebM, and MOV video clips or image sequences into optimized GIFs using NeuQuant color quantization. Features include Discord 8MB target compression, custom text captions, and FPS trimming—executed 100% locally with zero watermarks.

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Video and images are processed entirely in your browser. Only optional settings are saved locally on your device.
What video formats are supported?
MP4, WebM, and MOV work best in modern browsers. Upload the file directly — no account required.
How do I make a GIF fit Discord's 8 MB limit?
Select the "Discord (8 MB)" platform preset before generating. The encoder automatically reduces size until it fits.
Can I add text to my GIF?
Yes. Enable the caption overlay, type your text, and position it with X/Y percentages before exporting.
