How do I convert video to GIF?

Upload MP4, MOV, or WebM, trim the clip, choose FPS and quality, then export your GIF.

What settings control GIF quality?

Output width, FPS, and encoder quality together control smoothness and file size. Lossless color mode uses maximum palette sampling and dithering to reduce banding and color artifacts.

What does lossless color mode do?

Lossless color mode prioritizes color fidelity over file size. It does not change resolution (use Original width for that). GIFs are still limited to 256 colors per frame, but dithering greatly reduces visible banding.

Lossless color mode

GIF output is always palette-based, so true RGB lossless is impossible. Lossless color mode uses the highest encoder quality plus dithering to minimize banding and posterization while keeping your chosen resolution (including Original width).
