Questions people ask

Why is my GIF so large?

GIF stores every frame as a picture, so length, width and frame rate multiply. Keep it under about 5 seconds, 480 pixels wide and 15 frames per second for a file that posts well. The estimate updates as you change these.

Why does the GIF look grainy?

GIF is limited to 256 colours per frame. Dithering, which is on by default, spreads that limit into a fine pattern that looks smoother. Turn it off for flat graphics and smaller files.

Can I stop it from looping?

Yes. Switch off "loop forever" and the GIF plays once.

Do you upload my video?

No. The tool runs entirely in your browser. Your file stays on your device.

Which browsers are supported?

Chrome, Edge and Safari 17 or newer on desktop and Android. Firefox does not support the video APIs the tool needs yet.
