Frequently Asked Questions

What if the GIF file is too large?
You can reduce the frame rate (5-8 FPS recommended), decrease the width (under 320px), or shorten the clip duration to reduce the GIF file size.
Are my videos uploaded anywhere?
No. All processing happens entirely in your browser. Your videos never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy and security.
What video formats are supported?
MP4, WebM, and other browser-playable video formats are supported. If a video fails to load, try converting it to MP4 format first.
What frame rate should I use?
10 FPS is recommended for most use cases, balancing file size and smoothness. For smoother animations, use up to 15 FPS, but the file will be larger.
What is the maximum video duration?
There is no technical limit, but we recommend keeping clips under 10 seconds. Longer clips result in very large GIF files and longer processing times.
How do I convert a selected MP4 clip to GIF?

Load the video, select the start and end times and generate the GIF. Keep the page open while the browser processes the selected clip.

Can I choose GIF width and frame rate?

Use the width and frame-rate controls before converting. Larger dimensions, higher frame rates and longer clips generally require more memory and produce larger files.
