Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Video to GIF Converter work?
The tool seeks through your video frame by frame using the HTML video element's currentTime property, drawing each frame onto a Canvas with drawImage() and extracting pixel data via getImageData(). Each frame's RGBA pixels are quantized to a 256-color palette using nearest-neighbor matching, then LZW-compressed and written into a GIF89a binary format with Netscape looping extension -- all in pure JavaScript with no external encoder library.
What video formats can I convert?
MP4, WebM, MOV, and other formats supported by your browser. Most common video formats from phones and cameras work out of the box.
Can I control the GIF quality and size?
Yes. Adjust the frame rate, dimensions, and quality to balance between visual quality and file size. Lower frame rates and dimensions produce smaller GIF files.
