Frequently Asked Questions
Why use palette generation?
GIFs are limited to 256 colors. The two-pass palette technique analyzes your video to pick the optimal 256 colors, resulting in much better quality.
Can I convert any video format to GIF?
Yes, the converter accepts MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI, and most common video formats.
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. Everything is processed locally in your browser using WebAssembly. Your files never leave your device.
How can I reduce the GIF file size?
Lower the FPS, reduce the width, or shorten the duration. These all directly impact the final GIF file size.
How accurate is this video to gif tool?
All processing runs entirely in your browser using verified algorithms. Results are computed with full double-precision — no server-side rounding or data transmission occurs.
