How to convert OGV to GIF

Upload your OGV file, trim to the segment you want, set frame rate and output size, download the GIF.

What creates OGV files (and who uses them)

OGV is used primarily by Wikipedia, Firefox-native video playback, and Linux open-source media tools. If you downloaded a video from Wikipedia or recorded on Linux with an open-source screen recorder, you likely have an OGV file.

OGV to GIF — Wikipedia and open-source use cases

Wikipedia hosts many educational videos as OGV. Converting a short segment to GIF makes it easy to embed in blog posts, tutorials, or social media where OGV won't play.
