Frequently asked questions

Is this MP4 to GIF converter really free?

Yes. You get 5 conversions a day with no account, no watermark, and no email. A free account removes the daily limit and unlocks bigger files, 640px output, and meme captions.

Why do the GIFs look sharper than other converters?

GIFs only hold 256 colors, so the palette decides the quality. This tool runs a first pass that builds a palette from the colors your footage actually uses, then renders the GIF with it. Gradients and skin tones survive instead of banding.

What are the limits?

Files up to 100 MB, the GIF comes from the first 5, 10, or 15 seconds of the video, and output is 480 pixels wide at 15fps. A free account removes the daily cap and unlocks bigger files, 640px output, and meme captions.

Can I make GIFs in bulk or from my own app?

Yes. The blueprint runs the same conversion from your dashboard, from the API, or from an MCP client like Claude, so you can wire it into a workflow instead of uploading files by hand.
