Frequently Asked Questions
What video formats can I convert to GIF?
MP4, WebM, MOV, and most common video formats supported by FFmpeg. Simply upload your file and the converter handles the rest.
Is there a maximum duration for the GIF?
The maximum is 60 seconds. We recommend 30 seconds or less for optimal file size — longer clips produce very large files that are slow to load and share.
Is my video uploaded to your server?
No. The entire conversion runs locally in your browser using FFmpeg WASM. Your video never leaves your device and is not transmitted anywhere.
How can I reduce the GIF file size?
Lower the frame rate (10 FPS is often enough), reduce the output width, choose Medium or Low quality, or shorten the clip duration.
What frame rate should I use?
10-15 FPS works well for most GIFs. Use 24-30 FPS for smooth cinematic clips, or 5-8 FPS when file size is the priority.
Can I convert a specific part of a long video?
Yes. Set the start time to skip to the moment you want, then set the duration for the exact clip length. Only that fragment is converted.
