Frequently asked questions
What is a GIF file?
A classic format limited to 256 colours, best known for short looping animations.
How do I open a GIF file?
You can open it right here to convert it into something more convenient. If your computer does not recognise it, the practical move is to convert it to a universal format such as JPG or PNG.
What is the maximum GIF size here?
100 MB. Since conversion happens inside your browser, the limit comes from your device memory, not from a server.
Are my GIF files uploaded to a server?
No. All processing happens on your own device, so the file never leaves it.
