FAQ

Common questions

You can create GIFs using sequential static images in PNG, JPEG, or WebP formats, or convert short video clips formatted as MP4, WebM, or MOV. The tool extracts video frames smoothly, allowing you to select specific start and end timestamps for your animation snippet.
Animated GIFs can quickly grow in file size if dimensions or frame rates are set too high. To optimize your file for web and social media sharing, reduce canvas dimensions to 480px or 640px, set the frame rate between 10 to 15 frames per second, and limit the total duration to under 6 seconds. The tool provides real-time dimension and frame adjustments to help you manage file size.
Yes, the frame timeline allows you to drag frames to change their sequence, duplicate individual steps, or delete unwanted transitions. You can also add custom text overlays with customizable fonts, colors, and background banners to create humorous memes or instructional step-by-step guides.
All video decoding, frame extraction, color palette generation, and GIF compilation are performed locally using browser memory and WebAssembly libraries. Your private home videos, personal pictures, and creative media are never sent over the internet or archived on remote servers.
