Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Video to GIF converter really free?
Yes. There are no fees, watermarks, or sign-ups. Convert as many clips as you like, completely free.
Do I need to install any software?
No. The entire conversion happens in your web browser using WebAssembly — no downloads or plugins required.
Why is the clip length limited to 30 seconds?
Longer clips take much longer to process in a browser and produce very large GIF files. Capping clips at 30 seconds keeps conversions fast and file sizes reasonable.
Why is my GIF larger than the original video clip?
GIFs store every frame as indexed-color images instead of using modern video compression, so they're inherently less efficient than MP4 or WebM. Lowering the frame rate or width will noticeably shrink the file size.
What video formats can I upload?
You can upload MP4, WebM, or MOV (QuickTime) video files up to 100MB in size.
Why is conversion slow in the browser?
Browser-based conversion runs on WebAssembly instead of your device's native hardware acceleration, so it's slower than a desktop app. In exchange, your video is never uploaded anywhere — the trade-off keeps your files completely private.
Your Privacy Matters
Your video is never uploaded to a server. Trimming and GIF conversion happen entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your files stay on your device the whole time.
