Frequently Asked Questions

While there's no strict limit on video length, we recommend keeping GIFs under 10-15 seconds for optimal file size. Longer clips will result in larger files that may be slow to load or share. You can select any portion of your video using the timeline trimmer.

GIF file size depends on duration, frame rate, dimensions, and number of colors. To reduce size: shorten the clip, lower the frame rate to 10-12 FPS, reduce output width, or use fewer colors. You can also use our GIF Compressor after conversion.

For most uses, 10-15 FPS provides a good balance between smoothness and file size. Use higher frame rates (20-30 FPS) for fast-action content, but expect larger files. Most social media platforms display GIFs at 10-15 FPS anyway.

No, your video is processed entirely in your browser using JavaScript. The video file never leaves your device, ensuring complete privacy. This also means conversion works offline once the page is loaded.
