Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I turn my MP4 into a GIF?
GIFs are the universal language of the US internet. They play automatically on platforms like Reddit, Twitter, and Slack where MP4s might not autoplay. They are ideal for quick reactions, funny moments, and showing off UI animations without requiring a click-to-play.
What's the ideal video length for a GIF?
Keep it short—under 10 seconds is best. For emails and messaging apps on mobile networks (like 5G or 4G), shorter clips under 5MB load instantly. Long clips create huge files that are slow to send.
Will converting MP4 to GIF hurt the quality?
The GIF format is limited to 256 colors, which can reduce detail. However, our converter uses high-end palette generation to maximize quality. For the best results, use clips with fewer complex color shifts.
What is the max upload size?
You can upload MP4 files up to 50MB. Be aware that a long, high-res video could expand significantly when converted to GIF, so trimming the clip first is a smart move.
Is my footage private?
100%. The conversion runs locally on your computer or phone. Your video is never transmitted to our servers or stored anywhere. Once you close the tab, the data is wiped from memory.

Pro Tips for Better GIFs

  • Keep clips under 5 seconds to ensure files stay under 5MB and load fast on mobile networks like Verizon or AT&T.
  • Trim the start and end of videos to focus on the action and keep file sizes manageable.
  • Simple backgrounds and fewer colors result in a sharper final GIF image.
  • Stick to a frame rate of 15 FPS for a smooth loop that doesn't bog down email clients.
  • Capture the specific highlight—the touchdown or the plot twist—rather than the whole scene.
