MOV recordings often come from iPhones or QuickTime and may use codecs an older device cannot decode. With MOV to GIF, gIF limits colors and does not carry sound, so it is not a substitute for a full color video.
MOV to GIF starts with browser processing for supported input. A MOV file over 50 MB, or a failed device attempt, can use compatible server processing when capacity is available. That fallback uploads the file and deletes its job after download. The 1 GB selection limit does not guarantee completion.
