Step-by-step instructions

Choose an MP4 or WebM clip. MOV works only when the browser supports its codec.
Pick a clear start and end time. Short clips are easier to share.
Start with 320px width and 8 FPS for a lightweight animation.
Convert, inspect motion and text readability, and download.

Example settings

Use case	Width	FPS	Duration
Documentation	320px	8	3–5 seconds
UI demonstration	480px	10	4–6 seconds
Reaction	320px	10	2–4 seconds

Quality and file-size tips

GIF is silent and supports a limited palette. Reduce duration first, then dimensions and frame rate. If gradients show banding, the current lightweight encoder may not preserve them accurately. Longer clips may exceed browser memory limits.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make a GIF without a watermark?

Yes, the converter does not add a watermark.

Is an account required?

No account is required to convert a supported clip.

Why does MOV sometimes fail?

MOV is a container, not one video codec. Browser decoding support varies. Try an H.264 MP4 export when needed.

Does the GIF keep audio?

No. GIF animations do not include audio.
