Frequently Asked Questions
What video formats can I convert to GIF?
Video to GIF supports MP4 (H.264/H.265), WebM (VP8/VP9), MOV (QuickTime), M4V and most other formats your browser can play. If your browser can display the video, this tool can convert it.
Is there a file size limit?
You can upload videos up to 100 MB. For long clips, use the trim feature to select a section of up to 30 seconds for conversion — there is no limit on total video length.
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. The entire conversion happens locally in your browser. No video is ever uploaded to any server. Your content stays 100% private.
Why is my GIF larger than I expected?
GIF files store colors in palettes of up to 256 colors per frame and do not use inter-frame compression like modern video formats. For videos with many colors or motion, the output GIF can be much larger than the original video. Reduce FPS, width, or clip length to decrease file size.
Why are my colors slightly off in the final GIF?
GIF is limited to 256 colors per frame. Dithering (enabled by default) helps simulate a wider palette by blending pixel colors, but subtle color shifts are normal. For photos with many shades, GIF is an inherent compromise — use WebP or APNG for better color fidelity.
