How do I make the GIF smaller?

Lower the width (320 or 480 px), use 10 fps, or shorten the clip. GIF size grows quickly with each of these.

How long can the GIF be?

Up to 20 seconds. Longer GIFs get very large; for longer clips, an MP4 is usually the better choice.

What happens to my files?

Your upload goes to private storage, is processed by our own FFmpeg server and is deleted automatically after 24 hours (7 days on paid plans). We never use your files for anything else.

Why do I need an account?

Converting video takes real server time. Sign-up keeps the queue fair and stops abuse, so the tool can stay free and fast for everyone.
