Frequently Asked Questions
What video formats are supported?
MP4, WebM, MOV, and AVI are all supported. MP4 is the most common and works best across all browsers. If your browser can play the video, it can be converted to a GIF.
How do I keep the GIF file size small?
Three things control GIF file size: duration (shorter is smaller), dimensions (resize down to 480px or less), and frame rate (10-15fps is usually smooth enough). A 5-second GIF at 480px wide and 12fps is typically under 2MB.
Is there a time limit on the video?
There's no artificial limit, but GIFs are best kept short — 3 to 10 seconds. Longer GIFs produce very large files because every frame is stored as a full image. For clips over 15 seconds, consider using MP4 instead.
Can I make a GIF from a YouTube video?
You'd need to download the video first using a separate tool, then convert it here. We don't fetch videos from URLs. This is by design — all processing happens locally with files you already have on your device.
Why does my GIF look lower quality than the original video?
GIF is limited to 256 colors per frame, while video supports millions. This means gradients and complex scenes lose some detail. For best results, use clips with solid colors and simple backgrounds. Reduce the dimensions too — GIFs look best at smaller sizes.
