How it works

Three steps, a couple of minutes

Drop in your video

An MP4, MOV or WebM, or a screen recording you just made.

Trim and caption

Cut down to the moment and add a line of text if you want a meme-style caption.

Export as GIF

In the export dialog choose Animated GIF, a width of 480, 640 or 800 px and 6, 10 or 15 seconds, or the whole video.

Why it works

Why use CutLuma for this

Three sizes

480 px keeps the file small for chats and comments; 800 px is sharp enough for a product page.

Short by design

6, 10 or 15 seconds, or the whole clip if you really need it. Shorter GIFs load faster and loop better.

Text and stickers included

Anything you place in the editor is rendered into the GIF.

FAQ

Questions? Answers.

How big will the GIF be?

It depends on size, length and motion. A 480 px, 6-second clip is usually a few megabytes; 800 px for 15 seconds can be tens of megabytes.

Does the GIF have sound?

No. GIFs are silent by nature. Export an MP4 instead if you need audio.

Where do GIFs autoplay?

In chat apps, email clients, GitHub issues, Slack, Notion and most CMS editors, where an MP4 would need a click.
