FAQ
Why is there a length/size cap?
GIF is an inherently inefficient format for video. It stores every frame as a separate indexed-color image, so an uncapped conversion can produce a huge file for just a few seconds of footage. Output here is capped at 8 seconds, 480px wide, and 10fps to keep the result usable.
Will the colors look accurate?
GIF is limited to a 256-color palette per frame, so gradients, photos, and subtle color detail can show visible banding or dithering compared to the source video.
Does the GIF include audio?
No. GIF has no audio support at all. This tool only converts the video's picture, not its sound.
Can I convert a longer clip by trimming it first?
Yes, use Trim Video to cut down to the section you want before converting, since the cap applies to whatever you drop in.
