How do I convert an MP4 or MOV video into an animated GIF?
Step 1: Upload your video file. Step 2: (Optional) If you only want a specific segment, switch to the Video Cutter tool to trim the timestamps first. Step 3: In the GIF settings, choose your desired Framerate (e.g., 15 FPS for smoother animation, 10 FPS for a smaller file) and Width (e.g., 480px or 320px). Step 4: Click '🚀 Run Editing Task' and wait for the GIF to be generated — GIF encoding is frame-by-frame work, so longer or higher-FPS clips take noticeably more time.
Why do some online converters produce GIF animations with color banding and flickering?
Standard GIF converters force your video colors into a generic 256-color palette, causing dithering and color banding. Our engine uses FFmpeg's two-pass custom palette generation, which scans your video's own color spectrum first to build a dedicated palette, so the result keeps steadier colors and less flicker.
How can I reduce the file size of my animated GIF to share on Discord or WeChat?
GIF is an uncompressed frame sequence format, so file sizes can grow rapidly. To keep your GIF under 2MB or 5MB: 1) Keep the duration under 5 seconds, 2) Lower the Width to 320px or 480px, and 3) Set the framerate to 10 FPS.
