Convert MKV to GIF

Converting one file format to another may be necessary for various reasons. So, for example, you may want to convert MKV to GIF if your computer, phone or other device does not support MKV format. Also, conversion is often required to reduce the file size, since the original format takes up too much space in the device's memory. Perhaps you just need to extract the audio track from the video file, in which case converting the video to audio format is a good option. In any case, with the help of our converter, you can easily complete the required task. Below you can find out some details about the original and new file formats.

MKV is a special AVI-like audio / video container that stores a huge amount of information. The MKV format is an open source project by Matroska designed to create a unified standard for multimedia containers on the PC. MKV is a multimedia container that combines in one file: video, sound, subtitles, pictures, various service information, and most importantly, the possibility of creating a media menu in the MKV container is declared. It supports such formats as: mkv - responsible for video files, mks - responsible for subtitles and mka - sound. The format is open source, which means anyone can use it and make changes. MKV has earned a good reputation due to its resistance to various bugs and errors and the possibility of emergency recovery of files, even if damaged. Matroska Multimedia Container is an open standard free container format, a file format that can contain an unlimited number of video, audio, images or subtitles in a single file. It is intended to be used as a universal storage format for common multimedia content such as movies or TV shows. It is popular for its high quality and relatively small size. The format is not as widespread as MP4 and AVI. Therefore, sometimes the question may arise which MKV player should be used to view these files.

GIF is one of the most widespread and popular image formats on the Internet. I think I won't be mistaken if I assume that the total number of all GIF files in the world is in the billions. Such widespread use of GIF is largely determined by the features of this format. The GIF extension is a format for graphic files. Although they do not contain audio data, such files can often be seen on the Internet as snippets from video clips. Websites often use the GIF extension to display animated objects such as buttons or logo images. GIF animation is needed to make text - on social networks, newsletters, or on a website - more dynamic. With the help of GIFs, you can increase user engagement, increase readability and click-through rates; it might even affect leads and sales. Since GIF files are saved losslessly, the image quality does not degrade when converted to this format. The very fact that GIF format retains color using significantly fewer colors in the palette results in a dramatic reduction in file size. Thus, the resulting data in GIF format is still implemented using lossless LZW compression. This results in the full palette being preserved and does not result in any defects. Although not created specifically for the World Wide Web, the format was quickly adopted for its versatility, small file size, and cross-platform compatibility.
