How to convert MKV to GIF

  1. Drop your .mkv files above, or click Upload Files. You can add many files at once.
  2. GIF is already selected as the output. Open the settings (gear icon) to fine-tune the result.
  3. Click Convert All. FFmpeg runs inside your browser through WebAssembly; nothing is uploaded.
  4. Download your .gif files as soon as each one finishes.

What to know about MKV to GIF conversion

  • Frames are sampled at up to 20 FPS and an optimized 256-color palette is generated for the clip to keep the file small.
  • Short clips work best: animated images grow quickly with duration and resolution.

Frequently asked questions

Is it safe to convert MKV to GIF here?

Yes. Your files are processed entirely on your own device by WebAssembly code running in the browser. They are never uploaded, so nobody else can see them, and the converter keeps working even if your connection drops after the page loads.

Is there a file size limit?

There is no server-side limit. The only limit is the memory available to your browser, typically 1.5–4 GB on desktop computers.

Can I convert several MKV files at once?

Yes. Add as many files as you like; they are converted in parallel according to your device's CPU cores, and you can apply the same settings to all of them.
