Frequently Asked Questions
What is a GIF?
A GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is an image format that supports animation, allowing multiple frames to be played in sequence. This creates short, looping clips often used for memes, reactions, or quick visual demonstrations.
Why should I convert a video to a GIF?
Converting videos to GIFs creates lightweight, easily shareable animations. GIFs are ideal for social media, emails, or websites where full videos might be too large or autoplay isn't desired. They're perfect for highlighting key moments.
