β Frequently Asked Questions
The GIF file is too large. What can I do?
To reduce GIF file size: 1) Shorten the duration; 2) Lower the frame rate (5-8 FPS is usually sufficient); 3) Reduce output width; 4) Choose clips with less motion. Recommended starting parameters: 3s duration, 10 FPS, 320px width.
Why is the GIF quality lower than the original video?
GIF format is limited to a 256-color palette, so quality is inherently lower than video. This is a limitation of the GIF format. For higher quality, increase width and FPS (at the cost of larger file size). Consider APNG or WebP formats for better quality.
Which browsers are supported?
All modern browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge. Latest versions of Chrome or Edge recommended for best performance. Some older browsers may not support certain video codecs.
Can I use the generated GIF commercially?
This tool provides technical conversion only. The copyright of the generated GIF depends on the original video's license. Ensure you have rights to use and share the video content. For your own original content, use is unrestricted.
Does this work on mobile browsers?
Yes. Mobile Chrome and Safari support video playback and Canvas API, so the full functionality works on phones. Processing many frames may take longer on mobile β shorter clips are recommended.
