To trigger GIF conversion, simply add the f_gif parameter to your URL.

| f_gif | GIF | Converts the output format to GIF | | so_ | Start | Optional: Start offset in seconds (e.g., so_5) | | eo_ | End | Optional: End offset in seconds (e.g., eo_10) | | d_ | Dur | Optional: Duration in seconds (e.g., d_10) |

Best Practices

• Keep it Short: GIFs can grow very large in file size. Use d_ (duration) to capture only the essential action.
• Resize: Always specify a width (w_) for GIFs to ensure they load quickly on web pages.
• Static Previews: Use GIFs for silent previews in lists or cards where full video controls are not needed.
