Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make an animated GIF from a video?
Use the Video to GIF tool. Upload your video, set the start time, duration, frame rate, and dimensions, and the tool generates an animated GIF. Keep GIFs under 10 seconds for reasonable file sizes.
Why are my GIFs so large?
GIFs use a 256-colour palette per frame and lossless compression, so they are inherently large compared to video. Reduce file size by lowering the frame rate (10-15 fps is usually enough for motion), reducing dimensions, or shortening the duration.
What image format are extracted video frames saved as?
Extracted frames are saved as JPG or PNG depending on the tool. JPG gives smaller files for photographic content; PNG is better for graphics with flat colours or text.
Why would I convert a GIF to MP4?
MP4 video files are typically 5-10x smaller than equivalent GIFs while looking visually identical. Many platforms (Twitter, Slack, Discord) automatically convert GIFs to video internally. Converting manually gives you a smaller file to upload.
