GIFs are inefficient. To keep file sizes low, choose a lower Frame Rate (10-15 FPS) and limit the width (e.g. 480px) for sharing online.
Our converter provides professional control over your GIF generation process.
Analyzes the video content to generate a custom 256-color palette for maximum visual fidelity.
Control smoothness vs file size by selecting between 10, 15, or 20 FPS options.
GIFs play everywhere - in emails, on Twitter, Slack, and Discord. No video player required.
Heavy processing is done on our servers, keeping your device cool and battery full.
GIFs are the language of the internet, perfect for communicating emotions and loops.

"Finally, a converter that makes GIFs that don't look like potatoes. The palette generation really works."
"Super fast and easy. I use it for my newsletter graphics because videos don't play in email."
"Solid tool. I wish I could trim the video before converting, but the quality is top notch."
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. It doesn't require a player, it auto-plays, and it loops seamlessly.
Converting Video to GIF isn't just about changing file extensions; it's about accessibility. A GIF works where video fails: inside emails, in document headers, and in chat applications that don't render video embeds.
GIFs are limited to 256 colors. If you just take a video with millions of colors 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, resulting in a much richer image.
A technique used to create the illusion of color depth in images with limited color palettes (like GIFs).
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 to the 256 limit of GIF.
The specific set of colors selected to represent the image data.
GIF uses Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) lossless data compression, but the color reduction is lossy.
Our engine is designed on a "Volatile-Memory" principle—once your GIF is downloaded, the session is cryptographically purged.
Files are automatically and permanently wiped from our secure servers after 2 hours.
