How does the GIF Maker work?

It uses FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly, running entirely in your browser. The tool converts your video clip into an animated GIF with your chosen FPS, resolution, and speed settings. No data is ever sent to a server.

Why are GIF files so large compared to video?

GIFs use an older compression format (LZW) that is far less efficient than modern video codecs. Lowering FPS, reducing resolution, or trimming the clip length are the best ways to reduce file size. The "Optimize Palette" option also helps by computing a better colour palette for each frame.

Are my video files uploaded to a server?

No. All processing happens 100% in your browser via WebAssembly. Your video files never leave your device — complete privacy is guaranteed.
