Questions

About converting MP4 to GIF.

What size and frame rate does the GIF have?

By default the GIF is at most 640 px wide and runs at 12 frames per second. You can change both before converting.

Does the GIF have sound?

No. GIF cannot store audio, so the sound of the video is dropped.

How do I convert only part of the video?

Enter a start and end time, for example 00:00:05 and 00:00:10. Short clips make much smaller GIFs.

Will the GIF file have a watermark?

No. Converted files never get a watermark, free conversions included.

What happens to my files after the conversion?

Your files are processed on servers in the EU and deleted automatically after 24 hours.
