How to convert a video to a GIF on PC or Mac

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): Open this page in Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari and choose your MP4, MOV or WebM file. Set the start time and length, up to 15 seconds, the frame rate and the width, click Make GIF and download the result. It runs in the browser on Windows and Mac, so there is no software to install and the video is never uploaded. If an iPhone MOV does not play in Chrome on Windows, open the page in Edge or convert the clip to MP4 first.
