Frequently asked questions
WEBM or MP4?
WEBM compresses a bit better and is royalty-free; MP4 is more universal (old Safari, apps). When in doubt, MP4.
Does Safari play WEBM?
Modern Safari (14+) does; old versions don't. For maximum compatibility use GIF to MP4.
Is quality lost?
The conversion uses high-quality settings; the difference from the original GIF is practically invisible.
Is the GIF's transparency kept?
No: this conversion has no alpha channel; transparent areas become black.
