Frequently Asked Questions

Bob, our kitten, thinking

How do I turn an image into a GIF?

Use a media file converter (or an image to GIF converter, specifically) to turn an image into a GIF. Keep in mind: the quality of your image will be adjusted during the conversion process. If you want to make sure your GIF is high quality, you can use the online image converter Kapwing offers for free.

Is JPG or GIF better quality?

Because it is a still image, JPG is almost always better quality than a GIF file. GIF files contain multiple frames to create movement whereas a JPG (or a photo) is only one frame.

What is a good image size for a GIF?

A good image size for a GIF is any square ratio (1:1) or 480px by 480px. This is because your content will fit most platform size requirements while still maintaining the high quality of your content. If you need to resize your image for a GIF, you can use the image resizer offered by Kapwing for free online.

Best online video service ever. And a miracle for deaf people.
[Subtitler] is able to autogenerate subtitles for video in almost any language. I'm deaf (or almost deaf, to be correct) and thanks to Kapwing I'm now able understand and react on videos from my friends :)

By the far the most user friendly software to use.
As a housewife at home looking to start a Youtube channel for fun with absolutely zero editing experience, it was so easy for me to teach myself via their YouTube channel. It takes the tediousness out of editing and encourages creativity. As long as Kapwing is around, I will be using their software.

Love this site.
As a English Foreign Language Teacher, this site helps me to quickly subtitle interesting videos that I can use in class. The students love the videos, and the subtitles really help them to learn new vocabulary as well as better understand and follow the video.

Excellent subtitling features
[It] works perfectly for me. Have been using Kapwing for a year or so, and their automatic subtitle tool gets better and better every week, it's rare that I have to correct a word. Keep up the good work!
