Format description

HEIC is a new graphics format, containing one or more images stored in the High Efficiency Image Format (HEIF). This format, which is more efficient than JPEG, is heavily pushed by Apple on iOS and MacOS.
However, other operating systems may not be able to open such files, so it is a good idea to convert to another image format with wider adoption (JPG, PNG, or more efficient ones like WebP, JXL, or AVIF) when sending a photo from an iPhone, for example.

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.
