Frequently asked questions
Which videos can I turn into a GIF?
MP4, MOV and WebM videos. That covers iPhone and Android camera videos, most screen recordings and many clips saved from websites.
Why won't my iPhone video work?
iPhones usually record video in a format called HEVC. Safari on iPhone, iPad and Mac can read it. Chrome and Edge can read it only on some computers and phones, and Firefox cannot. If your browser can't, FilesAll tells you; try Safari.
Can I make a GIF from a screen recording?
Yes. Screen recordings make clear GIFs, which are handy for showing someone how to do something on a computer or phone.
Can I make a GIF from part of a long video?
FilesAll makes GIFs from short clips. If your video is longer, it uses the first part and tells you. To pick a different part, trim the video in your phone's Photos app first.
How do I make my GIF smaller?
Keep the clip short and the width small, or use Compress GIF on the finished file.
Is FilesAll free?
Yes. You can use FilesAll free every day without signing up, and the tool shows how many free files you have left today. A free account gives you more each day, and Pro removes the daily limit.
Do I need to install anything?
No. FilesAll works in the web browser you already have, on Windows, Mac, Chromebook, iPhone and Android. There is nothing to install, and you do not need an account to start.
Are my files uploaded?
No. FilesAll does all the work inside your browser, on your own device. Your files are never sent to our servers or anyone else's, and they disappear when you close the tab.
