How to convert ‍MP4 to a high-quality GIF

Convert your MP4 to a high-quality GIF in 3 easy steps.

Upload an MP4

Customize your video

What Clueso does with your GIF

Trim

Cut the recording down to the moment that matters

Trim and split the recording on the timeline until only the seconds you need are left
Keep it under 30 seconds and it plays at real speed; a longer span is sped up to fit
Starting from a long walkthrough? Clueso Cuts splits it into short clips for you

Polish

A GIF that looks designed, not captured

Add zooms, spotlights, and callouts so the eye lands on the click
Blur names, emails, and API keys, with keyframes so the blur follows a scroll
Put the recording on a clean background with rounded corners before it loops

Explore visual effects

Export

Sized for the page it lands on

GIFs export 1280 pixels wide at 12 frames per second, clear enough to read UI text
Export the same project as an MP4 when you need sound or a longer walkthrough
Or skip the file and embed the video where a GIF would be too long

See embedding options

Docs

GIFs inside your step-by-step guides

Every recording also produces a step-by-step written guide with a screenshot per step
Turn any of those screenshots into a GIF by picking a range from the clip it came from
Set the GIF's speed from 0.5x to 3x and zoom in on the part of the screen that moves

Where teams use product GIFs

READMEs and developer docs

A six-second GIF of the CLI command running answers more than the paragraph above it. Record it once with the screen recorder and export a GIF for the README and an MP4 for the docs site.

Release notes and changelogs

Show the new button being clicked instead of describing where it lives. The same project gives you a written guide for the help center.

In-app announcements and onboarding

A short loop in a tooltip or an announcement modal shows the feature without asking anyone to press play. Put it on a branded background so it matches the rest of the UI.

Support replies

Answer "where do I find this?" with a GIF of the three clicks, pasted straight into the ticket. When the answer takes a minute, send a narrated video with an AI voiceover instead.
