Frequently asked questions about Video to GIF Converter

Which video formats can I convert to GIF?

The converter accepts standard web video formats supported by your browser, including MP4 (H.264), WebM (VP8/VP9), and MOV files.

Why does the resulting GIF not have sound?

The GIF image format is strictly a visual format developed in 1989 and does not support audio tracks. If you need sound with your clips, consider keeping them as short MP4 videos.

What is the recommended frame rate for a web GIF?

A frame rate of 10 FPS offers an optimal balance between fluid motion and compact file size for Discord, Slack, and websites. 15 FPS provides smoother playback for fast action.

Is my video uploaded to any server?

No. The video is decoded and rendered frame-by-frame on an offscreen HTML5 canvas directly on your machine. Your personal recordings and media never leave your device.
