Step 3. Adjust GIF Settings

On the right side panel, choose a resolution based on your need. You can keep the original resolution (SD/HD/FHD) or set a lower custom resolution, such as 360P or 480P if you want the GIF to be small size.

Next, set a frame rate for the GIF file. 10 fps is recommended. But you can input higher fps if you want more smooth images. But note that fps higher than 10 will cause a slow-mo effect.

Now, select High Quality if you want to convert MKV to GIF in high quality.

Tips. You can change the Time delay for each frame but we don’t recommend you to do so, because the 0.01s time delay is already optimal for a GIF image.
