MP4 to GIF turns a video moment into something that autoplays anywhere — docs, READMEs, chat, issue trackers. Trim to the exact seconds you need first: GIF sizes balloon fast, and the best GIFs are under ten seconds. Frame rate and width controls trade smoothness against file size; conversion runs locally via FFmpeg in WebAssembly.
Frequently asked questions
How do I keep the GIF small?
Trim hard (every second counts), 480 px width, 12 fps. Those defaults produce GIFs that load fast and still read clearly — bump settings only when the result genuinely needs it.
Why is the GIF bigger than the MP4 it came from?
GIF is a 1989 format storing each frame as a palettized image; MP4 stores differences between frames. The conversion is for compatibility and autoplay, never for efficiency.
