Video to GIF Converter — Frequently Asked Questions
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. The video is decoded by your browser's own player, frames are captured onto a canvas and encoded to GIF by the open-source gifshot library running in local web workers. Nothing is transmitted.
Why is my GIF so large?
GIF is an old, inefficient format: every frame is stored as a full image with at most 256 colours. File size grows with width × frame rate × duration. For a small file, trim to the shortest clip that works, use 320–480 px width and 10 fps.
What does the Color Fidelity setting do?
It controls how carefully colours are quantised to the 256-colour GIF palette. 'High Precision' samples every pixel and gives the smoothest gradients but takes longest; 'Fast' samples fewer pixels and finishes much quicker with slight banding. 'Balanced' is right for most clips.
How long can the clip be?
There is no hard limit, but GIF encoding is CPU-heavy and the result lives in memory. Clips under 10 seconds encode in a few seconds; a 30-second 640 px clip can take a minute and produce a GIF of several tens of MB. Use the trimmer to keep it short.
Which video formats work?
Anything your browser can play: MP4 (H.264), WebM and Ogg work everywhere; MOV works in Chrome and Safari when it contains H.264. If the preview stays black, the codec isn't supported by your browser — convert the file to MP4 first.
Does the GIF include audio?
No — the GIF format has no audio track. The sound is simply dropped during conversion.
