FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, completely free. No account or credit card is required.
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser — your files are processed on your own device and never uploaded to a server.
There's no hard limit, but GIF files grow quickly — clips under 10 seconds give the best balance of quality and size.
The converter outputs 480px-wide GIFs at 12fps — a good default for sharing. For frame-perfect control, Zight's desktop app has a full GIF maker.
