The video engine (about 30 MB) is downloaded once and then cached. Your videos never leave your device; long or HD videos can take a few minutes.
Drop the MKV video onto the page, paste it, or click to choose. It is read directly from your device.
Everything is set up for GIF. Adjust the size or other options if you like — the defaults suit most videos.
The conversion runs in your browser. When it is finished, save the GIF file to your device.

Graphics Interchange Format
Animated images
GIF is an image format that supports short, silent, looping animations with up to 256 colors, popular in chats and social media.
Family clips, screen recordings and work videos never leave your device. There is no server copy to leak or delete.
No account, no watermark, no daily limits and no waiting queue. Only your device's memory sets the limit.
When the streams already fit the target format they are copied without re-encoding: done in seconds with zero quality loss.
Add your MKV file to the tool above. GIF is already selected, so processing starts with the right settings. When it is done, click Download.
GIF only supports 256 colors, so PixNudge creates an optimized palette for each clip with smooth dithering. Choose a higher frame rate and width for more detail, or lower them for a smaller file.
No. The MKV to GIF conversion runs entirely in your browser using ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. Your video never leaves your device.
If the streams can be copied, a few seconds. If the video has to be re-encoded, roughly one to three minutes per minute of 720p video on a computer, and longer on phones.
