Multiple files? Pro converts them all at once.
Converting…
From iPhone screen recording to shareable GIF
The .mov files iPhones produce are exactly the kind of footage you should think twice about uploading to a random converter site: they show your actual screen — notifications, contacts, messages, whatever was visible. GIF Den converts them without any upload, using your browser's hardware decoder, so the recording never leaves your hands.
Tip: bug reports and app demos look best trimmed tight (3–10 seconds) at 480px width and 15 fps. The result drops straight into GitHub issues, Slack and Notion.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert an iPhone screen recording (MOV) to GIF?
AirDrop or transfer the .mov to your computer (or open this page on the phone itself), drop the file here, trim, and convert. Everything runs in the browser — the recording is never uploaded.
My MOV uses HEVC (H.265). Will it work?
On Chrome, Edge and Safari — yes, via hardware decoding. On browsers without HEVC support, GIF Den automatically switches to its built-in software decoder. Either way the file stays on your device.
Why does my screen recording make a huge GIF?
Phone recordings are tall (e.g. 886×1920) and long. Trim to the seconds that matter and use 480px width — a 10-second 480px clip at 15 fps is usually a few MB.
Is this safe for recordings with sensitive content?
That is exactly the case this tool was built for. Screen recordings often contain emails, tokens, names and messages. Because conversion is local, none of it leaves your machine — verifiably.
