Frequently Asked Questions

?How does the video to GIF converter work?

The tool uses FFmpeg WebAssembly technology to convert videos entirely in your browser. No files are uploaded to any server.

?Will the GIF quality be good?

Yes, you can control quality through FPS and width settings. Higher FPS and width produce smoother, higher-quality GIFs but also larger file sizes.

?How can I reduce the GIF file size?

Lower the FPS (10 is usually sufficient for most uses), reduce the output width, or trim the video to a shorter clip before converting.

?What does FPS mean?

FPS stands for Frames Per Second. It determines how smooth the GIF animation looks. 10-15 FPS is good for most uses; 24+ FPS gives very smooth animation.

?What video formats can I convert?

You can convert MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WebM and most other common video formats to GIF.

?Is there a file size or duration limit?

There's no hard limit, but longer videos produce very large GIFs. We recommend keeping clips under 30 seconds for best results.

?Is my data private?

Absolutely. Your video files never leave your device. All conversion happens locally using WebAssembly technology.

?Is this tool free?

Yes, it is completely free with no sign-up, no watermarks, and no limits.
