Good to know

Keep it short

GIF is an old image format with no sound and large files. Up to 30 seconds can be made, but 2–6 seconds is ideal.

Size vs. smoothness

Smaller width and fewer frames per second make a much smaller file. 480 px at 10 fps suits chats and docs.

Need sound?

Use MP4 instead — it is smaller than a GIF and keeps the audio.

FAQ

How long can the GIF be?

Up to 30 seconds. Longer GIFs get very large; for longer clips, an MP4 is a better choice.

Why is my GIF bigger than the video?

GIF stores every frame as a picture with at most 256 colors and no modern compression. Lower the width or frames per second to shrink it.

Is there a watermark?

No. The GIF is yours, with nothing added.

Is my video uploaded?

No. Frames are taken and the GIF is made inside your browser.
