MOV is Apple's QuickTime video container. GIF is the classic looping animation format. Turn iPhone screen recordings or Live Photos into shareable animations.
PrivateRemix handles the MOV-to-GIF conversion in a couple of clicks, with the result saved right next to your original file.
Unlike free online converters, PrivateRemix has no server. Your MOV files stay on your Mac — no upload, no cloud, no account.
Drag a MOV file into PrivateRemix, or pick one from your Mac.
Select GIF from the formats PrivateRemix offers for your file.
The new GIF appears next to the original. Nothing leaves your Mac.

GIFs are large and capped at 256 colours. MP4 video is far smaller at the same quality and plays smoothly on phones and social platforms.
No. PrivateRemix runs entirely on your Mac using its own processor. Your MOV files never leave the device — there is no server to upload to, and it works fully offline.
Yes. Drop in a batch of MOV files and PrivateRemix converts them all locally, saving each new GIF next to its original.
