Frequently asked questions
- What video formats can I convert to GIF?
- MP4, WebM, MOV, and AVI. The video must be a format your browser can natively decode.
- How do I make a short GIF from a long video?
- Use the trim controls to select a start and end time before converting. Keep clips under 10 seconds for manageable file sizes.
- Why is my GIF so large?
- GIF uses only 256 colours per frame and stores each frame as a full image. Reduce frame rate (10–15 fps is usually enough) or output dimensions to lower file size.
- What frame rate should I use?
- 10–15 fps is a good balance for most GIFs — smooth enough to look natural but not bloated. Higher frame rates increase file size significantly.
- Will the GIF loop automatically?
- Yes — all GIFs created by Swirl loop infinitely by default.
