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.| File extension | .webm |
