Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes this converter different from others?
A: We use FFmpeg's advanced two-pass palette generation algorithm, creating a custom color palette for each GIF. This results in superior quality with accurate colors and minimal banding. The Lanczos scaling ensures sharp images even when resizing.

Q: Why is my GIF file larger than the original video?
A: GIFs use frame-by-frame compression rather than video codecs, making them larger than modern video formats. To reduce size, try lowering the dimensions or trimming your video to a shorter clip before converting. Our converter optimizes for quality while keeping sizes reasonable.

Q: Can I convert WebP images to animated GIFs?
A: Yes! Our converter handles both static and animated WebP files, along with PNG, JPG, and other image formats. Static images become single-frame GIFs, while animated WebP files preserve their animation in the GIF output.

Q: What happens to the video quality during conversion?
A: The converter maintains excellent visual quality by analyzing your content and generating an optimized 256-color palette. While GIFs have color limitations compared to video, our palette generation ensures the best possible representation of your original content.

Q: Is there a duration limit for videos?
A: While there's no hard duration limit, the 20 MB file size limit naturally restricts video length. Typically, this allows for 10-30 seconds of high-quality footage, depending on resolution and complexity. For longer clips, consider converting only the most important segments.

Q: Can I use these GIFs commercially?
A: The conversion process doesn't affect ownership or licensing. You retain all rights to your content. The GIFs are created without watermarks or branding, making them suitable for any use case where you own the original content.

Q: Why does the converter use 15 fps?
A: 15 fps provides smooth motion while keeping file sizes manageable. It's the sweet spot for most GIFs - high enough for fluid animation but low enough to maintain reasonable file sizes. This frame rate works well for everything from simple animations to video clips.

Q: How secure is my uploaded content?
A: Your privacy matters. Files are processed in temporary memory and immediately deleted after conversion. We don't store, view, or share your content. The entire process happens in real-time, and no data is retained on our servers after you download your GIFs.
