FAQs
Does this create a real multi-frame animated GIF or a static image?
Pixelora generates a genuine multi-frame animated GIF file with configurable frame delays, fully compatible with Discord, Slack, Twitter/X, Reddit, and website embeds.
What is the recommended duration and size for an animated GIF?
We strongly recommend keeping GIF animations between 2 to 6 seconds at 10 FPS with 480px width. GIF files do not use inter-frame temporal compression, so longer clips quickly become tens of megabytes in size.
What video formats can I convert to GIF?
You can convert MP4, WebM, and MOV video clips that can be decoded by your web browser.
Can I choose the output dimensions of the animated GIF?
Yes, you can select standard preset widths including 320px (compact thumbnails), 480px (social media and chat embeds), and 640px (high-definition web presentations).
Are my video uploads saved on Pixelora servers?
No. The entire extraction and GIF compilation process occurs inside your local browser memory. No video or GIF data is uploaded to remote servers.
