Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert a video to GIF?
Upload your video (MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI). Set the start time and duration (max 30 seconds recommended). Choose output size: small (320px), medium (480px), or large (640px width). Set frame rate (10-15 fps for smooth animation). The tool generates an animated GIF from your video clip.
What is the best frame rate for a GIF?
10 fps: Small file size, slightly choppy. 12 fps: Good balance of smoothness and size. 15 fps: Smooth animation, larger file. 20+ fps: Very smooth but very large files. Most GIFs use 10-15 fps. The tool defaults to 12 fps which works well for most content types.
How do I reduce GIF file size?
Reduce dimensions (480px or 320px width). Lower frame rate (10 fps). Shorten duration (under 5 seconds). Reduce color palette (64 or 128 colors instead of 256). Crop to the area of interest. The tool shows estimated file size as you adjust settings before conversion.
What is the maximum GIF size for social media?
Twitter: 15MB (5MB for best results). Discord: 8MB (free), 50MB (Nitro). Slack: 20MB. Reddit: 20MB. Facebook: 8MB. The tool shows your GIF's file size and warns if it exceeds common platform limits. Adjust quality settings to meet your target platform's requirements.
Can I add text or captions to the GIF?
Yes. Add text overlays with customizable font, size, color, and position. Set text to appear for the full duration or specific time ranges. Add multiple text layers. The tool supports common caption styles: top text, bottom text, subtitle bar, and custom positioning.
