Does this work with animated SVG?

Yes for SMIL-based animation — we sample the SVG over its duration. CSS @keyframes inside SVG also play in browsers and will be captured frame-by-frame.

Why convert SVG to GIF?

Many platforms (chat apps, slide decks, README badges) only accept raster formats. GIF is the universal raster fallback.

Are my files uploaded?

No. SVG rendering uses your browser; GIF encoding runs locally via ffmpeg.wasm.

How to convert SVG to GIF

Pick your .svg file.
Pick the output pixel width. SVG scales perfectly — go large for retina screens.
For animated SVGs (SMIL), set Frames > 1 and a total Duration.
Press Convert to GIF.

Common use cases

Sharing icon animations on Slack / Discord that require raster.
Embedding diagrams from Mermaid or Figma exports.
README badges that won't render SVG inline.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my animated SVG come out static?

Animation that depends on JavaScript inside the SVG is stripped for security. SMIL (<animate>, <animateTransform>) and SVG-internal CSS animation should work.

Why is my SVG missing fonts?

SVG referencing external fonts can't load them in a sandboxed image. Embed the font as data URI in the SVG, or convert text to paths first.
