Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about converting videos to GIFs

Is VideoToGif really free to use?
Yes, VideoToGif is completely free. All video to GIF conversions happen in your browser, so there are no server costs and no need for premium plans.
Are my videos uploaded to your servers?
No, your videos never leave your device. All processing happens entirely in your browser using WebAssembly technology. This ensures complete privacy and faster conversions.
What video formats are supported?
VideoToGif supports MP4, WebM, MOV, and AVI video formats. These cover most common video files from phones, cameras, and screen recordings.
How can I reduce the GIF file size?
To reduce GIF file size, try: 1) Lowering the frame rate (10-15 FPS works well), 2) Reducing resolution to 480p or lower, 3) Decreasing the color palette to 128-196 colors, 4) Shortening the clip duration, or 5) Using our file size target feature which auto-adjusts quality.
Can I edit the video before converting to GIF?
Yes! Our editor lets you trim videos, adjust playback speed, change frame rate and resolution, add text captions, apply filters, insert stickers, and much more before conversion.
What is the maximum video file size I can convert?
Since processing happens in your browser, the limit depends on your device's memory. Generally, videos up to 100MB work smoothly on most devices. Larger files may work but could take longer or use more memory.
Can I convert GIFs back to video?
Yes! Visit our GIF to Video tool which converts animated GIFs to MP4 or WebM video formats.
Why should I use GIF instead of MP4?
GIFs are widely compatible, auto-play on most platforms without sound, and work great for short clips, reactions, and memes. MP4 is better for longer videos with sound. Choose based on your sharing platform and needs.
