How to convert TS to GIF

  1. Add your TS files

    Drag one or more TS files onto the dashed area, or tap it to pick them from your device.

  2. Choose GIF and the options

    Choose the start and end of the clip, the frames per second and the width of the GIF.

  3. Convert and download

    Press “Convert to GIF”. When it’s done, download the files one by one or all together in a ZIP archive.

Good to know. 5 to 10 seconds at 480 pixels and 10-12 frames per second gives you smooth, light GIFs.

GIF (Graphics Interchange Format)

The format of short animations and memes. It uses a palette of at most 256 colours, so it’s fine for simple graphics but degrades photos. Transparency is all-or-nothing: a pixel is either solid or invisible.

Best for
Short animations, icons and graphics with few colours.
Limits
Only 256 colours and no partial transparency; long animations get very heavy.

Questions about TS and GIF

Which browser do I need?

Audio and video use WebCodecs: they work in up-to-date Chrome, Edge, Opera and Samsung Internet, in Firefox 130+ and Safari 17+ (with a few limits on the formats they can create). If your browser can’t create the chosen format, we tell you before you start.

Are my TS files uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion from TS to GIF happens entirely in your browser, using your device’s computing power. Files aren’t sent or stored anywhere: when you close the page they’re gone from memory too.

How many files can I convert at once?

Up to 100 files at a time. There’s no fixed size limit: it depends on your device’s memory. On smartphones it’s best to work in smaller batches with heavy files such as videos.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes, with up-to-date Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Samsung Internet. On phones, converted files end up in the Downloads folder or the Files app.

Do I need an internet connection?

Only to open the page (and, the first time, to download the components needed for that type of file). After that the conversion keeps working even if the connection drops.
