GIFs can become very large. For the best results, try to use short video clips (less than 10 seconds).
Converting a full-color video into a 256-color GIF is an art form. It's about deciding which colors matter most to preserve the soul of the image.
RiseConvert uses a Two-Pass Encoding process with FFmpeg's advanced palettegen filter. First, we scan your entire video to build a custom color palette that represents the specific range of colors in your footage.
Then, we apply this palette using dithering algorithms (like Floyd-Steinberg) to blend pixels, creating the illusion of millions of colors. This results in cinematic GIFs that look smooth, not grainy.
Generates a unique 256-color map for every single video.
Blends colors to reduce banding and graininess.
Industry Standard Processing
In the age of 4K video, why does the humble GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) survive? Because it's the universal language of the internet.
Context is Key: A GIF auto-plays. It doesn't require the user to hit a "play" button. It loops, emphasizing the moment. It works in emails, documents, and chat apps where video players often fail.
The biggest challenge with GIFs is the 256-color limit. If you just take a video and blindly convert it, you get ugly "banding" (blocks of flat color).
Our Solution: We use a technique called Palette Generation. Instead of using a standard web-safe palette, we analyze your specific video to find the 256 colors that appear most frequently. We then use that custom palette to render the GIF.
A technique used to create the illusion of color depth in images with limited color palettes.
Frames Per Second. Lower FPS (e.g. 10-15) keeps GIF file sizes smaller.
GIFs can loop once, a specific number of times, or infinitely. We set them to infinite loop.
The process of reducing the number of distinct colors in an image.
GIF is an inefficient format. It stores every frame as a full image. Keep your resolution and frame rate low to save space.
GIF format does not support audio. If you need sound, stick with MP4.
Files are processed in a secure environment and automatically deleted after 2 hours.
