Format description

GIF is a widely used image format which supports displaying animations. Its name is synonymous with short, silent, looping videos. However, due to limitations in the design of the GIF format, the animations cannot be very long or have lots of colors, without the file size becoming extremely large.

Optimize GIF Size

To make GIFs smaller in size without reducing quality, you can convert it to a newer, more efficient image format like WebP – which also supports looping animations. Alternatively, you can convert the GIF to a video.

Animated GIF Maker

MConverter lets you create GIF animations from videos. The resolution and frame rate of the original video will be kept, so you can make smooth 60fps GIFs. For greater compatibility, the maximum duration of the created GIF animation is 2 minutes.

Format description

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) files contain images, described with two-dimensional vectors. The vector instructions are written in a text format similar to XML. SVG files are widely used on the web, because they are efficient for icons and logos: there is no pixelation and the file sizes are very small. Vector image formats like SVG work on an entirely different principle from raster images, such as PNG and JPEG, which generally store information for each pixel separately.
