Is my SVG file uploaded to a server?

No. The entire conversion happens inside your browser using HTML Canvas and the gif.js library. Your file never leaves your device.

Will animations in my SVG be included in the GIF?

No. This tool captures a single static frame of the SVG. Only the first visual state is exported as a static GIF.

Why does the GIF look pixelated?

GIF is limited to a 256-color palette, so complex gradients and photos may look less sharp than the original SVG. Increasing the output size in the settings helps with detail.

What is the maximum SVG size I can convert?

There is no hard file-size limit, but very large or complex SVGs may slow down the canvas rendering step depending on your device.

Can I set a custom output size?

Yes. Enter a custom width and height (in pixels) before converting. The SVG will be scaled to fit those dimensions.
