Tips for MOV to GIF Conversion

Apple screen recordings and Photos clips benefit from a little trimming and downscaling.

Best settings for iPhone clips

  • Trim to the key moment before converting.
  • 480px width is usually enough for messaging and social sharing.
  • Use 10 FPS for a clean balance of motion and file size.

When MOV files feel too large

  • Screen recordings can be huge, even when the clip is short.
  • Reduce the width before export instead of keeping original dimensions.
  • Consider MP4 if the platform accepts video instead of GIF.

Sharing on Apple devices

  • GIFs are easy to drop into Messages and docs.
  • MP4 is still better when you want the smallest shareable file.
  • Short clips convert faster on mobile Safari.
