Convert your video to a GIF for uploading to Chrome at kapwing.com/studio

You can customize your Google Chrome homepage (the New Tab page) with not only images, but also GIFs and videos! Whether it’s a scene from your favorite movie, a great meme, or personal content, you can easily do it all. In this tutorial, we show you how to use a GIF to personalize the background for your Chrome homepage. If you want to use a video, simply convert it to a GIF for free using Kapwing first.
