Sharp colours

Each frame gets its own optimised colour palette, so GIFs look cleaner than many online converters.

Control the file size

Smaller width and fewer frames per second mean a smaller GIF. 480px at 12 fps is a good balance for chats.

No watermark

Your GIF is yours, with no branding added.

Questions

How long can a GIF be?

Up to 30 seconds here. GIFs are not compressed like video, so long GIFs get very large; 3–8 seconds is ideal.

Why is my GIF bigger than the video?

GIF is an old format with no modern compression. Lower the width or frame rate to make it smaller.

Is there a file size limit?

No limit is set by us. Because everything runs on your device, very large files depend on your device's memory; a laptop handles more than an older phone.

Why is it faster in some browsers?

Chrome, Edge and Safari can use your device's built-in video hardware, which is very fast. Other browsers use a slower compatibility engine that downloads once (about 30 MB).

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything happens inside your browser on your own device. Your files are never sent to a server, which is faster and keeps private photos and documents private.

Is it free?

Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit.
