Tips for Best Results
Control GIF File Size
Lower resolution (e.g. 480px width), reduce FPS (8-10), and keep clips short — these are the three keys to smaller GIFs.
Choose the Right Size
Twitter/X works best at 480px, Discord at 320px, WeChat at 360px. Different platforms have different GIF size limits.
Quality vs File Size
50-70% quality is usually sufficient. 100% quality significantly increases file size with minimal visible improvement.
FAQ
Why are GIF files so large?
GIF format does not support efficient compression. Reduce duration, resolution, and frame rate to control file size. Generally, 480px width at 10fps and 50% quality produces reasonable file sizes.
What video formats are supported?
Supports MP4, WebM, MOV, and other browser-compatible video formats. MP4 is recommended for best compatibility. Maximum file size is 100MB.
How do I reduce GIF file size?
Three key factors: 1) Lower output width (320-480px recommended); 2) Reduce frame rate (8-10fps is usually smooth enough); 3) Keep clips short (5-15 seconds for best results).
Is there a file size limit?
Upload videos up to 100MB. Clips are limited to 60 seconds with a maximum of 500 output frames to ensure smooth browser performance.
Is the conversion safe? Is data uploaded?
Completely safe. All video processing happens locally in your browser. No files are uploaded to any server. Data is automatically cleared when you close the page.
How do I change the GIF playback speed?
Use the speed control to select from 0.5x (slow motion) to 2x (fast forward). 0.5x plays at half speed, 2x at double speed — great for fast-forward effects.
What about GIF quality?
GIF supports up to 256 colors. The quality setting controls the color palette size. 50-70% quality suits most uses with clear images and reasonable file sizes. 100% quality increases file size with minimal visible improvement.
Why is conversion slow?
Conversion happens entirely in your browser. Speed depends on video resolution, duration, and your device performance. Shorter clips and lower output widths convert significantly faster.
