Can I convert MP4 to GIF?โผ
Yes. MP4 is fully supported, along with WebM, MOV, AVI, and MKV. Just pick the file and trim the clip you want to turn into a GIF.
How do I keep the GIF file size small?โผ
Trim to a short clip, use a lower frame rate like 10 FPS, pick a smaller width such as 320 or 480px, and raise the quality number. Fewer frames and a smaller size mean a lighter GIF.
Why is my GIF quality lower than the video?โผ
GIF supports only 256 colors per frame, so it can't match a full-color video. Lower the quality number for better color, and keep the clip short so each frame has more detail.
