What does GIF from Video do?
GIF from Video samples a contiguous slice of one uploaded movie and returns a looping animated GIF suitable for chat apps, blogs, or lightweight memes. The dropzone accepts video/* sources up to two hundred megabytes—a tighter cap than the generic five-hundred-megabyte video tools because palette GIFs balloon quickly. A start time field feeds the same flexible parser used elsewhere, so values like 0:00, 1:15, or 90 seconds all map to a numeric start offset in seconds. Duration is not a freeform input; you pick one of five fixed spans (one through ten seconds, excluding four seconds and six through nine). The page displays an End time derived as start plus the chosen duration using the shared MM:SS formatter so you can sanity-check the window before upload. Width presets control horizontal resolution at 240, 320, 480, or 640 pixels with 480 as the initial selection, and FPS presets offer 8, 10, 15, or 20 frames per second with 10 as the default. The client POSTs start, end, fps, and width inside the media job options. When the worker finishes, the success state resolves the download URL for an inline preview image, prints approximate output kilobytes when the API returns a size, and still offers the usual download-and-reset controls.
File size and quality
The muted helper lines warn that clips shorter than about ten seconds make the best GIFs and that raising FPS or width grows byte size quickly. GIF is an 8-bit indexed format; smooth gradients and long durations will band or stutter no matter how high you push width.
