Frequently Asked Questions

What video formats can I convert to GIF?

You can convert most common video formats including MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI, and MKV. If your browser can play the video, you can convert it to a GIF.

Is there a file size or duration limit?

There are no hard limits since all processing happens in your browser. However, longer videos will create larger GIF files. For best results, we recommend keeping GIFs under 30 seconds.

How can I reduce the GIF file size?

Lower the frame rate (10-15 fps is usually sufficient), reduce the output width, or trim the video to a shorter clip. GIFs with fewer colors and simpler motion also compress better.

Why does my GIF look grainy?

GIFs are limited to 256 colors, which can cause banding in gradients. For smoother results, try reducing the dimensions or choosing video clips with solid colors rather than complex gradients.

Which browsers are supported?

This tool works best in Chrome, Edge, and other Chromium-based browsers. Firefox and Safari are also supported but may be slower for processing.

GIF Size Tips

GIF file sizes depend on dimensions, frame rate, and video complexity. For smaller files: use 10-15 fps, reduce width to 480px or less, and keep clips short. Videos with less motion and fewer colors produce smaller, higher-quality GIFs.
