Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert a video to GIF online?

Upload your video, choose a quality preset, optionally set the time range, and click Create GIF. Your files are never uploaded to any server.

What's the difference between the quality presets?

Small (320px, 10 FPS) creates compact GIFs ideal for chat and messaging. Medium (480px, 12 FPS) balances quality and file size. Large (640px, 15 FPS) produces high-quality GIFs for presentations.

Why is my GIF file so large?

GIFs are inherently larger than videos because they use a simpler compression method. Use the Small preset for the most compact files, and keep the duration short (under 10 seconds) for best results.

Can I select a specific portion of the video?

Yes! Use the start and end time sliders to select exactly which part of the video you want to convert to GIF. This also helps keep the file size manageable.

Is the video to GIF converter free?
