FAQ
What happens during MP4 to GIF conversion?
The converter decodes the MP4 video stream, removes audio, builds a GIF palette, and exports a short looping GIF optimized for lightweight playback.

Can quality or formatting change?
Yes. Each converter page calls out what is preserved, what may be lost, and which settings matter before upload.
