How to convert TikTok to GIF
This converter works with a TikTok video file, not a link: save the video to your phone or computer first (TikTok’s Share › Save video, available when the creator allows downloads), then choose the saved MP4 here, trim up to 15 seconds and create your GIF. Only convert videos you made or have permission to use.
Choose the MP4 here
Pick the saved file. On a phone, choose it from Photos or Files.
Trim and create
Select the moment (up to 15 seconds) and click Create GIF.
TikTok video and GIF basics
| File | Opens in the browser? | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Saved TikTok video | Opens (H.264 MP4) | Saved videos include a TikTok watermark added by TikTok. |
| TikTok link | Not supported | This tool converts files on your device and does not download from links. |
| Vertical 9:16 video | Works | The GIF keeps the vertical shape; height follows the width you pick. |
Best GIF settings for vertical TikTok clips
| Use | Setting | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Chat reactions | Smaller file: 320 px wide, 10 fps | A vertical 320 px GIF is about 570 px tall. |
| Social posts | Balanced: 480 px, 15 fps | Keep the selection to the key 3–6 seconds. |
| Detailed moves (dance, sport) | 480 px, 20–24 fps | Higher frame rate is smoother but grows the file. |
Size figures come from our 3 November 2026 FFmpeg tests; the full table is on the batch converter page. Limits for every source: up to 15 seconds, 300 frames and 960 px wide per GIF; source files up to 200 MB.

TikTok to GIF FAQ
Is my video uploaded?
No. The video is opened by your browser and turned into a GIF with FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly, so it stays on your device. It is free, with no account, no daily limit and no watermark.
Can I paste a TikTok link?
No. Save the video first, then choose the file. The converter works only with files on your device.
Can I remove the TikTok watermark?
No. The tool does not remove watermarks. You can crop the finished GIF with the crop tool if the watermark sits on an edge of your own video.
Why can I not save some TikTok videos?
Creators can turn off downloads for their videos. Respect that and only convert videos you have permission to use.
