Why is my GIF file so large?

GIFs are an inefficient format for video. Long duration, high frame rate, large dimensions, and complex scenes all increase file size. Keep clips short, reduce frame rate to 10-15 fps, and use smaller dimensions to manage file size.

What video formats are supported?

The tool supports common video formats including MP4, MOV, AVI, WebM, MKV, and others. FFmpeg handles the decoding and conversion.

Can I convert the entire video to GIF?

You can, but it's not recommended. A 1-minute video could produce a GIF over 100MB. GIFs work best for short clips under 5 seconds. For longer content, consider using MP4 or WebM video formats instead.

Are my files uploaded?

No. All processing runs in your browser. Your video files never leave your device.

Yes, completely free with no account required.

What frame rate should I use?

10-15 fps is usually sufficient for most content. Higher frame rates increase file size significantly. Use lower frame rates for slow-motion content and higher rates for fast motion.
