Frequently asked questions
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs 100% in your browser using ffmpeg.wasm, so your video file never leaves your device and is never uploaded anywhere.
Which video formats can I convert to GIF?
You can convert common video formats such as MP4, WebM, MOV, MKV and AVI. Any video your browser can read is accepted, and it is exported as a standard animated GIF.
How do I control the GIF quality and size?
Adjust the FPS (frames per second) and output width to balance smoothness against file size. Lower FPS and a smaller width produce a much smaller GIF; higher values look better but grow quickly.
Can I make a GIF from just part of my video?
Yes. Set a start time (in seconds) and a duration to trim the clip, so only the section you want becomes the GIF. Short clips keep the file size manageable.
Why is the first conversion slow?
The first run downloads the ~30 MB ffmpeg.wasm engine into your browser. After that it is cached and runs offline, so later conversions start much faster.
Does the GIF loop, and is this tool really free?
Yes — the exported GIF loops forever, and the tool is completely free with no watermarks, sign-up or upload limits.
