Frequently Asked Questions
What video formats are supported?
We support MP4, MOV, WebM, and M4V video formats. These cover most videos from phones, cameras, and downloads.
What's the best frame rate for GIFs?
10 FPS is recommended for most uses - it provides smooth animation while keeping file sizes reasonable. Use 5 FPS for smaller files or 15 FPS for smoother motion.
Why is my GIF file so large?
GIF file size depends on duration, dimensions, and frame rate. To reduce size: shorten the clip, reduce width to 320px, lower frame rate to 5 FPS, or use low quality setting.
Is my video safe?
100% safe. All conversion happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your videos never leave your device.
Use Video to GIF when the goal is short loops for Discord, Slack, landing pages, or lightweight embeds. If the GIF is too heavy afterward, continue with GIF Compress. If the final loop dimensions are wrong, continue with Image Resize.
No-upload workflow: source clips, private recordings, and internal demos stay local while you make a shareable GIF.
Is this useful for Discord, Slack, or landing pages?
Yes. Those are some of the most common use cases. Short optimized GIFs work well for chat reactions, support handoff examples, landing page demos, and micro-interactions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are GIF files so large compared to video?
GIF compression is much less efficient than modern video codecs. Keep GIFs short (3–8 seconds), use a lower frame rate (10–15 FPS), and reduce resolution to keep file sizes manageable.
What frame rate should I choose?
10–15 FPS produces smooth-looking GIFs at a reasonable file size. Higher frame rates look smoother but create much larger files. For simple animations, even 8 FPS may be sufficient.
Can I select just a portion of the video?
Yes. Set the start time and duration to trim only the clip you want. For best GIF quality, keep the source clip under 10 seconds.
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. FFmpeg.wasm converts your video entirely within the browser. Your file stays on your device throughout.
