Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which video formats are supported?
A: We support formats that can be decoded natively by the browser, such as MP4, WebM, and OGG. If your video won't play due to encoding issues, we recommend converting it to standard H.264 MP4 first.
Q: How do I reduce the file size of the generated GIF?
A: You can shrink the file size by shortening the timeline clip, lowering the output width (e.g., to 480px), reducing the FPS to 10-12, or slightly lowering the quality slider.
Q: Is the video processed on a cloud server?
A: No. Gifify encodes GIFs on your local machine using client-side processing, meaning zero waiting queues. Speed depends purely on your device's CPU.
