Keep it up!" > > Jason (March 12, 2026) > "This is a clever idea, especially in concert with programmatic (AI-generated) SEO." > > Ryan Hoover, Creator of ProductHunt (17 January 2024) > "We were looking for tools to help our users create and edit images with templates. We tried options like Canva, but Templated.io turned out to be the perfect choice for our product. It offers an easy API to render images, and its embed editor lets us provide our users with a full editing experience without having to create complex frontend components. It's a really great tool!" > > Harish (September 16, 2025) > "We integrate Templated.io into our portal for custom flyer generation. The editor is amazing, and the Canva import tool is exactly what we were looking for. Massive shoutout to Pedro for the technical support. He responds incredibly fast and fixes issues in no time. Highly recommended!" > > Yuan Zhuang (June 9, 2026) > "Brilliant piece of software. Reasonably priced (vs Canva's outrageously expensive API), and despite a few intricacies with the editor, a really fully-featured document generation API. Really great support too from Pedro, the founder!" > > Jacob Burns (August 17, 2025) > "Very reliable platform. Almost no errors ever. Easy to setup templates and use the API. And AMAZING support!" > > Lawrence Perera (March 24, 2026) > "We booked the "Scale" package to use it as a "print product editor" and we are amazed by the features and the support! Pedro replies to every question and also implemented small hints to the API for better functions on our request. Absolutly great Software and Service!" > > Sven Rißmann, südheide.media (December 18, 2025) > "Templated.io is basically a an API-first graphics content designer which makes it super easy to programmatically create document and image assets. It has most basic features and it is robust and "just works". The Make.com app really makes it super simple to incorporate into automation workflows. What sets templated.io apart the most is Pedro and his super fast and service minded, solutions oriented responses." > > Siavash (May 26, 2025) > "Amazing API, perfect support and a lot of new features on a monthly basis." > > Kalina Staykova (November 26, 2025) > "Currently working through an implementation of Templated.io and the customer service has been spectacular!!!

Yes, completely free with no limits on conversions. Your video is processed entirely in your browser using FFmpeg.wasm — nothing is uploaded to any server. ### What video formats are supported? This tool supports MP4, WebM, and MOV (QuickTime) video files. These cover the vast majority of video formats used on the web and mobile devices. ### What is the maximum file size? You can upload videos up to 500MB. Since processing happens in your browser, very large files may take longer depending on your device's memory and processing power. ### How long can the GIF be? You can create GIFs up to 30 seconds long. Keep in mind that longer GIFs produce larger files — for best results, keep GIFs under 10 seconds and use a lower FPS. ### Are my videos uploaded to a server? No. All processing happens 100% in your browser using FFmpeg.wasm (WebAssembly). Your video files never leave your device. ### Why is my GIF file so large? GIF is an older format with limited compression. To reduce file size: lower the FPS (10 or less), reduce the max width (480px or less), shorten the duration, and avoid complex scenes with lots of motion or color variation. ### What FPS should I use? 10 FPS is the best default for most use cases — it looks smooth enough while keeping file size reasonable. Use 5 FPS for simple UI demos and 15-20 FPS only when smoothness is critical. ### Can I select a specific part of the video? Yes. Use the "Start Time" field to set where the GIF begins (in seconds) and "Max Duration" to control how long the GIF lasts. This lets you extract any segment of your video. ### Does converting to GIF preserve audio? No. GIF is an image format and does not support audio. Only the visual frames from your video are included in the resulting GIF. ### How can I reduce the GIF file size? Several strategies help: reduce FPS to 10 or lower, set a smaller max width (320px or 480px), keep the duration short (under 5 seconds), and choose video clips with less motion and fewer colors. This tool uses palette optimization for the best possible quality-to-size ratio.
