What the Video to GIF converter does
It turns a short part of a video into an animated GIF that loops everywhere, in chats, forums, READMEs and emails, with no player needed. It uses FFmpeg's two-step palette method (the same technique used by GIF sites), so colors stay clean instead of blotchy, and it adds no watermark.
GIF is an old, inefficient format: size grows quickly with length, width and frame rate. 3–6 seconds at 480 px and 12 fps is the sweet spot, usually 1–3 MB. If the GIF is still too big for where you want to post it, try 320 px or 10 fps.
