MKV to GIF converter

Cut a scene from an MKV video and turn it into a GIF, right in your browser.

How to use it

  1. Drop your MKV file into the box above.
  2. Drag the purple handles under the video to choose the part for the GIF.
  3. Pick the width and frame rate, press Convert and download the GIF.

Why use it

MKV (Matroska) is used by OBS recordings, films and series. It can hold several audio and subtitle tracks; the GIF uses only the picture.

To make a reaction GIF from a long video, drag the selection to the moment you want. 2–5 seconds at 480 px and 12–15 FPS keeps the GIF easy to share.

Frequently asked questions

Can I convert an OBS recording to GIF?

Yes. OBS saves MKV by default, and those files convert directly.

Are subtitles included in the GIF?

No. Only the video picture is used. To add a caption, open the result in the Add Text tool.
