How to turn a video into a GIF on iPhone

Many searches around this topic are "video to gif iphone", "iphone video to gif", and "turn video into gif iphone".

The easiest approach is:

Trim your clip on iPhone first.
Convert with browser controls for FPS and size.

iPhone video to GIF workflow

Open Photos and trim your video to the exact moment you need.
Share or save that trimmed clip.
Open the Video to GIF tool in your mobile browser.
Upload the trimmed clip.
Set FPS and output size.
Export GIF and save.

Recommended settings on mobile

FPS: 8 to 12
Width: 480px to 640px
Clip length: under 6 seconds

These settings usually keep the GIF smooth while avoiding large files.

Why this works better than one-tap converters

One-tap apps are quick but often hide quality controls. With manual FPS and size settings, you can choose between smaller file size or cleaner motion depending on where you will share it.
