Questions

Is my video uploaded?

No. The video is played and turned into frames in this page on your device. Nothing is sent anywhere.

Is there a watermark?

No.

Why is my GIF so big?

GIF is an old format with no real video compression. Every frame is stored almost on its own. Make it smaller by using a smaller width, fewer frames per second, fewer colours and a shorter clip. A few seconds at 480 px wide is a good start. For long clips, a short MP4 is much smaller than a GIF.

Which videos can I use?

Whatever your browser can play. Chrome and Edge play MP4 (H.264), WebM and many MOV files. Safari and Firefox differ. If the video will not load, try another browser, or shrink it with the Video Compressor first.

What does it not do?

No sound (GIFs have none), no cropping, no stickers or effects, and no video output. Colours are limited to 256 per frame by the GIF format, so gradients can show banding. The free page accepts source clips up to 8 seconds. Speed changes and forward-backward playback can make the GIF longer. Each conversion allows up to 600 sampled frames and has a memory limit; use a smaller width or frame rate for longer clips.
