Frequently Asked Questions

What video formats can I convert to GIF?

MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI, and MKV files are supported. The tool uses FFmpeg WASM end to end — frame extraction and GIF encoding both run locally.

Can I control the GIF frame rate and resolution?

Yes. Choose 5, 10, or 15 FPS and a width of 320, 480, or 640px (height scales automatically with lanczos + palettegen/paletteuse). Lower frame rates and smaller widths produce much smaller GIF files.

Can I trim the video to a specific segment?

There is no built-in trimmer — trim the clip first with the Video Trimmer, then convert the short segment here. Short segments also keep memory use down for GIF encoding.

What is the maximum input file size?

Videos up to 250 MB are supported, matching the 250 MB platform cap for video files. Larger files may cause memory issues in the browser. For long videos, trimming to a short segment first is recommended.

Is my video uploaded to a server?

No. All conversion happens locally in your browser using FFmpeg WASM. Your video never leaves your device.
