Frequently asked questions

Which video formats work?

Any video your browser can play — typically MP4, WebM and MOV. You can trim the start and length before converting.

How do I keep the GIF small?

GIF is a heavy format — lower the width, frame rate and length. The tool caps very long clips to keep file sizes reasonable.

Is my video uploaded?

No — frames are captured and encoded entirely in your browser; your video never leaves your device.

Why is my GIF large or slow to make?

High resolution, frame rate or length all increase size and encoding time. Reduce them for a lighter, faster result.
