How to Create a GIF from Video
Animated GIFs are perfect for reactions, tutorials, and social media. AVMint lets you create optimized GIFs from any video — with control over start time, duration (up to 15 seconds), and output size.
Upload your video
Open AVMint's Video to GIF tool and drop your video file.
Set timing and size
Enter the start time (in seconds) and duration (max 15 seconds). Choose a size preset: Small (320px) for chat, Medium (480px) for social media, or Large (640px) for blogs.
Create and download
Click Create GIF. AVMint generates an optimized GIF with a color palette algorithm for best quality at the smallest size. Download your GIF.
Tip
Shorter GIFs with smaller dimensions produce much smaller files. A 5-second 320px GIF is typically under 2MB, while a 15-second 640px GIF can be 10MB+.
FAQ
Why is my GIF so large?
GIF is an inefficient format. Reduce duration, lower the size preset, or consider using WebM/MP4 for looping video — they're much smaller.
Can I create a GIF longer than 15 seconds?
AVMint limits GIFs to 15 seconds to keep file sizes manageable. For longer animations, consider using a video loop instead.
