Notes

Important points are grouped with reasons so you can make decisions before using the tool.

Things to check

Allow time for long or large videos

Conversion runs in the browser. Large files or long videos can take more time to finish.

Things to check

GIF works best for short shared loops

GIF does not preserve audio and can become very large with long videos. It is best suited to short looping shares.

Note

Audio is not included when converting to GIF

The GIF format does not support audio. When you convert a video with audio to GIF, only the video animation is included. Choose MP4 or WebM if audio is needed.
