Frequently asked questions

Is it really free?

Yes. The GIF maker is completely free, with no signup, watermarks, or limits. We make money from our video translation service, not from this tool.

Do you upload my files?

No. All processing happens locally in your browser using WebAssembly. Your video never leaves your device — you can even disconnect from the internet once the page has loaded.

Why is the clip length limited to 15 seconds?

GIF is a very inefficient format — every second adds megabytes. Fifteen seconds at medium size already produces files around 5–10 MB. For longer clips, a video file is almost always the better choice.

How do I keep the file size small?

Use a shorter duration and a smaller output size. The tool also generates a custom color palette for your clip (two-pass encoding), which noticeably improves quality at any size.
