How do I convert a video to GIF?

Upload your video, then click Convert. The tool automatically generates a high-quality animated GIF using a two-pass palette algorithm for maximum color accuracy.

Why are GIF files larger than the original video?

GIF uses an inefficient compression algorithm compared to modern video codecs. A 5-second GIF can easily be 10–50× larger than the equivalent MP4 clip. For web use, consider using MP4 with autoplay/loop instead of GIF where supported.

Is there a length limit for GIF conversion?

For practical reasons, GIF conversion works best on short clips (under 30 seconds). Longer clips will produce very large GIF files that may be slow to process.

Are my video files secure and private?

Yes, 100%. Everything is processed locally with strict confidentiality. Your video never leaves your device.
