Tips & Best Practices

  • Keep clips under 10 seconds to avoid very large GIF files.
  • 10 FPS is ideal for social media GIFs — smooth but small file size.
  • 480px width gives a good balance between quality and file size.
  • The blue bar on the timeline shows exactly which part of the video will become the GIF.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert MP4 to GIF online free?

Upload your MP4 to ezyimg's Video to GIF tool, use the sliders to select start time and duration, then click Convert. The GIF downloads immediately — no account needed, no watermark.

What is the best FPS for a GIF?

10-15 FPS is the sweet spot. Below 10 FPS looks choppy; above 20 FPS creates very large files. 12 FPS is standard for reaction GIFs.

Why are GIF files so large?

GIFs use lossless LZW compression with a limited 256-color palette. A 10-second GIF can easily be 10x larger than the equivalent MP4 clip.

Can I convert YouTube videos to GIF?

First download the video using ezyimg's Video Downloader, then convert it to GIF using this tool.
