How Do You Make a GIF From a Video in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 3:42 pm

There are many ways to make a GIF from a video in Photoshop. You can use the ‘Save for Web’ tool, the ‘Export’ tool, or even just create a screenshot and then save it as a GIF file.

However, the best way to make a GIF from a video in Photoshop is to use the ‘Save for Web’ tool. This tool allows you to control the quality of the GIF and also how much file size it will take up.

PRO TIP: The process of making a GIF in Photoshop can be time consuming and may result in a large file size.

To use the ‘Save for Web’ tool, first open your video file in Photoshop. Then go to File > Export > Save for Web (legacy).

In the ‘Save for Web’ dialogue box, select the GIF format and then choose your desired settings. For example, you can choose how many colors you want to use, and whether or not you want to dither the image.

Once you’re happy with your settings, click ‘Save’. Photoshop will then create your GIF file.
