Video to GIF for Discord
Turn a clip into a GIF that fits Discord's upload limit. Trim it short, pick a smaller width, and the GIF stays under 10MB (8MB on the old free tier) — all rendered locally in your browser.
Making GIFs that fit Discord
Discord caps free uploads at 10MB, and GIFs balloon fast. The fix is the same every time: keep the clip to a few seconds, use 320–480px width, and 10–15 fps. This tool's trim and width controls let you land under the limit without a watermark or an upload.

Frequently asked questions
- What's the GIF size limit on Discord?
- Discord's help center documents a 10MB limit for standard image and GIF uploads. Paid plans or server settings may allow more, so check the limit shown in your client.
- Why won't my GIF play as an animation in Discord?
- Confirm the file is an actual animated GIF and that reduced-motion or animation settings are not disabling playback. A smaller GIF will also load faster.
