GifStream's Video to GIF Crop tool lets you trim a time range and crop a rectangular region of any MP4 or WebM video, then convert it to a high-quality animated GIF — all directly in your browser.
Perfect for framing a specific subject or removing unwanted borders while clipping highlights from screen recordings or short videos. No upload required, and output quality is fully adjustable.
Guide: Video to GIF Crop
When to use it
- Turn only part of a video frame into a GIF.
- Make square or vertical GIFs from landscape videos.
- Remove black bars or captions from a clip.
Tips
- Pick a start time and short duration first; shorter GIFs are much smaller.
- Use the Square or Story presets for social formats.
- Cropping and trimming are independent, so adjust both freely.
Good to know
- No crop needed? Video to GIF is simpler.
- Reduce the result with GIF Compress.
- The video is processed in your browser and never uploaded.
