How to convert MKV to GIF

1. Upload your MKV file.
2. Enter the start time and length.
3. Choose frames per second and width.
4. Click Convert and download the GIF.

MKV to GIF features

• Reads MKV files directly, no conversion to MP4 needed first.
• Great for gameplay highlights from OBS.
• Optimised palette for vivid colours.

Making smooth gameplay GIFs

Gameplay usually has a lot of motion. For smooth results use 15 or 20 frames per second and keep the clip short, around 3 to 6 seconds. If the GIF becomes too large, lower the width to 480 or 320 pixels before lowering the frame rate, since choppy motion is more noticeable than a smaller picture.

Frequently asked questions

What settings work best for gameplay?

Use 15 to 20 fps for smooth motion and 480 px width to keep the file manageable.

Is there a size limit for the MKV?

Up to 500 MB.

Can I share the GIF on Discord?

Yes, as long as the GIF is within Discord's upload limit. Lower the width or length if it is too big.
