Questions
How do I make a GIF from a video?
Pick the video, choose the part to use with the preview player, and press Make GIF. The GIF is made in your browser, and you download it when it is ready.
Why is my GIF so large?
GIF stores each frame as a picture, so the file grows quickly with length, width and frame rate. Shorter clips and smaller widths give the smallest files.
Why is there no sound in the GIF?
The GIF format has no sound track. Only the picture is kept, so the sound is left out.
What is the longest clip I can turn into a GIF?
30 seconds. For a longer video, choose a 30 second part with the preview player.
