GIF converter
A GIF converter should do one job well, and the jobs differ more than the name suggests. Turning a video into a GIF is about picking a short clip and a frame rate. Turning a GIF into a PNG is about picking one frame and keeping its transparency. This page lists every converter on LoopGIF so you can go straight to the one that fits. All of them run in your browser, and none uploads your file.
To make a GIF from something else, use Video to GIF for MP4 and other video, WebM to GIF for WebM clips, MOV to GIF for iPhone and QuickTime clips, Live Photo to GIF for the video saved from a Live Photo, WebP to GIF for animated or still WebP images, AVIF to GIF for AVIF pictures, APNG to GIF for animated PNG files, PNG to GIF and JPG to GIF for turning pictures into GIFs one by one, and Screen recording to GIF to record a tab, window or screen on a desktop browser. Video decoding depends on what your browser supports, and the page tells you plainly when your browser cannot read a file, and why.
To take a GIF apart, use GIF to PNG or GIF to JPG when you want one frame as a picture, the GIF splitter when you want many frames at once as a ZIP, and GIF to sprite sheet when you want every frame in a single image with a JSON file and a CSS snippet that plays it back. The three frame tools share an engine but start from different defaults, so choose by what you want to end up with.
To turn a GIF into another format, use GIF to MP4 or GIF to WebM for video, with a steady frame rate and repeats, and GIF to WebP or GIF to APNG for an animated image with a quality slider or full transparency. MP4 to WebP goes straight from a video to an animated WebP. These pages show the real file size next to the source's, so you can see whether the change helps, and the video ones say so when your browser has no encoder for the format. When you have converted something, the next step is usually making the file smaller or the right size, so every converter page links on to the compressor and the resizer. If you are not sure which tool you need, look at what you have: a video, a WebP, an AVIF, an APNG, a PNG or a JPG, or a GIF that you want to pull apart or convert. Trim a video before you convert it, because the clip length and the width decide the file size more than any other setting. And when a conversion fails, read the message under the drop box: it names the limit or the codec that caused it.

Questions, answered
What is the best GIF converter?
The one built for your exact conversion. A general tool that does everything usually gives you fewer controls than a focused one. Here each converter has the controls its job needs, such as a trim bar and frame rate for video, or a background colour for JPG.
Are my files uploaded when I convert?
No. Every converter on this page opens and encodes your file inside your browser. The tool pages say so, and you can check in your browser that no upload request is made when you convert.
Which formats can I convert to GIF?
MP4, WebM and MOV video, the video saved from a Live Photo, animated and still WebP, still AVIF (animated where your browser can read it), APNG and still PNG, JPG, and a screen recording made in the browser. Video support depends on your browser and the codec inside the file; for example, some iPhone clips use HEVC, which not every browser can decode.
Can I convert a GIF to MP4 or WebP here?
Yes. GIF to MP4 and GIF to WebM write a video with your browser's own encoder, and GIF to WebP and GIF to APNG write animated images. Each shows the GIF's size and the new file's size. You can also convert a GIF to PNG, JPG, a ZIP of frames or a sprite sheet.
