03 / FAQ

Frequently asked

Can I convert between APNG and GIF?

Yes, both directions are supported. APNG → GIF reduces full color to 256 colors; GIF → APNG re-encodes in full color while keeping the original frames. You can also adjust output size (W × H) and frame delay after loading.

Should I use GIF or APNG?

It depends. GIF works almost everywhere — social, chat apps, embeds — but is limited to 256 colors. APNG supports full color and alpha, so the result looks much cleaner, but some platforms don't support it yet. Pick APNG when image quality matters (websites, internal sharing) and GIF when reach matters.

Is there a file size limit?

No explicit limit. That said, browser memory is finite — videos over 1–2 GB may fail to load. Trim long videos before loading for better stability.

How are my files handled?

Everything runs in your browser. Files are never sent to SideKit's servers or any third-party service. Your output is saved directly to your device. Confidential material and personal photos are fine to use.

Can I use this commercially?

Yes — the tool is free for commercial use. Just make sure you have rights to the input files yourself.

Does it support transparent PNG?

Yes, transparent PNGs are supported as input. APNG output preserves the alpha channel as-is. GIF output converts transparency to 1-bit (fully transparent or fully opaque) — that's a GIF format limitation.

What about audio in videos?

GIF and APNG are image formats, so audio is not included. Only the visual frames are extracted from videos.

Which browsers and OS are supported?

The latest versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari. Works on Windows, macOS, Linux, iPadOS, and Android — anywhere a modern browser runs.
