Frequently Asked Questions

2 questions answered

How many frames can I add to a GIF?

There is no hard limit — but GIFs with many large frames will have large file sizes. For smooth animation, 8–24 frames at a consistent size work best.

Can I convert a video to a GIF?

Yes — use the Video to GIF tool instead. It extracts frames from a video clip and creates an animated GIF with controls for start time, duration, width, and FPS.
