Frequently Asked Questions

Does a GIF have sound?

No. GIF is an image-only format, so the audio track is removed when you convert to GIF.

How do I control GIF quality and size?

Use the FPS slider to change the frame rate and the Scale slider to shrink the output dimensions, which reduces file size.

Are my MP4 files uploaded to a server?

No. The GIF is built on your machine, so your MP4 never leaves it.

Is the MP4 to GIF converter free?

Yes. Making GIFs is completely free and unlimited, however many clips you need.
