What file formats do you support?

We support over 100 file formats including images (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, TIFF), documents (PDF, DOC, DOCX, TXT), videos (MP4, AVI, MOV), audio (MP3, WAV, FLAC), and many more specialized formats.

Yes, absolutely. We use enterprise-grade encryption for all file transfers. Your files are automatically deleted from our servers after conversion, and we never store or access your personal data.

What is the maximum file size?

The maximum file size for free users is 100MB per file. Premium users can convert files up to 1GB. For larger files, we recommend our batch processing feature.

How long does conversion take?

Most files convert in under 30 seconds. The exact time depends on file size and format complexity. Our advanced algorithms ensure the fastest possible conversion while maintaining quality.

Can I convert multiple files at once?

Yes! Our batch processing feature allows you to upload and convert up to 50 files simultaneously. This is perfect for bulk conversions and saves significant time.

Do I need to create an account?

No account is required for basic conversions. However, creating a free account gives you access to batch processing, file history, and priority support.

Tips and Best Practices

Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.

Prepare SVG for Rasterization

Flatten complex filters: convert SVG filters to simple fills or raster previews so browser sampling matches expectations
Embed or convert fonts to paths to avoid font substitution during raster rendering
Remove interactive scripts: strip script-driven animations that won't render predictably in a GIF
Rasterize embedded raster images at target DPI to avoid unexpected upscaling during export
Set explicit viewBox and width/height to control output pixel dimensions reliably

Optimize GIF Encoding

Limit palette colors to reduce size but test gradients for banding effects after quantization
Choose dithering when gradients exist in SVG to trade noise for smoother transitions
Reduce frame rate when exporting animation from SVG to cut file size while preserving motion intent
Trim transparent margins in SVG artwork to avoid unnecessary GIF canvas pixels
Export preview frames and test palette optimization with external GIF tools for archival use

Verify Visual Fidelity

Compare final GIF at native pixel dimensions against SVG rendered at same size to detect rasterization artifacts
Inspect semi-transparent edges for haloing caused by binary GIF transparency and adjust background or anti-aliasing
Check animated timing against original SVG timeline and tweak sampling frame rate if motion appears stuttered
Validate color appearance on target devices because GIF indexed palettes may shift hues versus SVG vectors
Preview GIF in target email client or CMS to confirm compatibility and color rendering

Workflow & Archival Practices

Keep original SVG as the editable master for archival and future edits instead of relying on GIF as source
Archive exported GIF with a small JSON manifest noting conversion settings like resolution and palette size
For print or high-fidelity use, export a lossless raster (PNG/TIFF) instead of GIF and store alongside SVG
When converting batches, process in groups of 20-50 files to balance memory and preserve consistency
Document font and color profile choices used during rasterization for reproducible archival renders

Fast Processing

Close unused tabs for maximum throughput.

Client-Side Privacy

No media leaves your device.

Broad Compatibility

Output files work across all operating systems.

Pro Tip

For batch conversions, process in groups of 20-50 files to optimize memory usage and avoid browser slowdowns.
