Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I reduce a GIF's file size?+
Converting to WebP typically reduces file size by 40–60%. Converting to MP4 reduces it by 60–80%. The GIF format itself has limited compression options.
Will the animation be preserved?+
Yes. The animation is preserved in all output formats: optimized GIF, animated WebP, and MP4 video.
Are my GIF files uploaded to a server?+
No. All optimization and conversion happens locally in your browser. Your files never leave your device.
Why is MP4 so much smaller than GIF?+
MP4 uses inter-frame compression — it only stores what changed between frames. GIF stores each frame in full, which is why it's much less efficient.
