How to make a GIF
Select media type. To make a GIF from a video file on your device or a video URL, use "Video to GIF", otherwise use "Images to GIF" to create a GIF animation from a series of still images.
Choose Media. Hit the upload button to choose files from your device, otherwise paste a URL if your media asset is hosted on a website.
Customize. Crop your GIF or add text, images, stickers, drawings/scribbles, and animations. Drag and drop your text and images for perfect positioning. Use the time range slider to make text or images only appear at certain times throughout your GIF. For video-to-gif, enable motion to make your text and images move across the screen to follow the objects in your animated GIF.
Create and share. Hit "Generate GIF" and then choose how to save or share your GIF. You can share to social media or through your phone apps, or share a link, or download the GIF to your device. You can also publish to one of Imgflip's communities.

What media sources can I make GIFs from?

Make GIFs from Youtube, Vimeo, Giphy, and many other video websites. Just copy and paste the video URL.
Make GIFs from videos on your phone or computer. You can upload almost any video format to make your own GIF, but .mp4 videos are best because then you can instantly preview your GIF with our video player.
Make GIFs from existing GIFs. Just paste the URL into the input above!
Make GIFs from pictures or other images, just click the Images-to-GIF tab!
Can I save my GIFs online?
Yes! Just make sure that you are logged into an Imgflip account, and all GIFs you create will be saved. You can also download your GIF images and store them offline.
Why is there an "imgflip.com" watermark on my GIFs?!?
The Imgflip watermark helps other people see where the GIF was created. We really don't want your GIFs to look bad though, so we made it as small as possible while still being readable, and it will not even show up on tiny GIFs. Y
