Is there a watermark?

No. The GIF is rendered from the source video with nothing added.

How long can the GIF be?

Up to 30 seconds. GIFs grow huge fast — for anything longer, a short MP4 clip (the Trim tool) is a far smaller file that most platforms now auto-loop anyway.

What resolution is the GIF?

Up to 480p at 12 frames per second — the sweet spot where GIFs stay sharp but small enough to actually post and load.

GIF or short MP4 — which should I use?

GIF when the destination demands it (some forums, docs, READMEs). MP4 everywhere else — Discord, Slack, X and WhatsApp all loop MP4s, at a tenth of the file size and full color.

YouTube to GIF Maker

Turn any moment of a YouTube video into a looping GIF for free. Pick a start time and duration — the server does the conversion, no watermark.

A reaction, a highlight, three perfect seconds of a music video — GIFs are how moments travel. Paste the YouTube link, set the start time and how many seconds to capture, and Puliqo renders a clean looping GIF server-side.

Only the segment you select is fetched — not the whole video — so even a moment deep inside a two-hour stream converts quickly. The GIF uses a two-pass palette render for noticeably better colors than quick-and-dirty converters.
