GIF files: how to open and convert them
Video that plays nowhere needs no player: the animation format used as a video format.
What this site can do with GIF
- Open and read: yes
- Write and convert to: yes
- Compression: lossy — a quality slider applies when encoding
- Transparency: supported
- Animation: supported
Encoding uses the two-pass palette technique (palettegen → paletteuse) — never single-pass colour dumps.
