Is GifConvert free to use?

Yes! GifConvert is 100% free with no limits. Your files are processed entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to any server.

What video formats are supported?

We support MP4, WebM, AVI, and MOV video formats for conversion to GIF.

Absolutely. All processing happens client-side in your browser using WebAssembly. Your files never leave your device. This is privacy guaranteed by architecture, not just policy.

What's the maximum file size?

There's no hard limit, but larger files (500MB+) may be slower depending on your device's memory and processing power.

Can I adjust the GIF quality?

Yes! You can control FPS (5-30), width, quality, and trim start/end times before converting.

Why does conversion take a while?

The conversion runs entirely in your browser using ffmpeg.wasm. Processing speed depends on your device and the video length.

How do I make a GIF for Discord under 8MB?

Set width to 400-480px, FPS to 12-15, and keep duration under 5 seconds. This typically produces GIFs well under Discord's 8MB free-tier limit. See our Discord GIF guide for more tips.

What's the best FPS for a GIF?

15-20 FPS is ideal for most uses. Use 10-12 FPS for screen recordings and slideshows, and 20-24 FPS for fast action clips. Lower FPS means smaller file sizes.

Can GifConvert work offline?

After the initial page load (which downloads the WebAssembly engine), conversions work even without an internet connection since all processing is local.

How is GifConvert different from Ezgif?

Can I compress an existing GIF?
