Tips for small GIFs
GIF stores every frame as a 256-colour image, so files grow quickly. Keep clips short (2–6 s), use 10 fps and a width of 480 px for chat and social media. Frames are captured from your browser's video player and encoded with the open-source gifenc library.
Frequently asked questions
Is my video uploaded?
No. Frames are captured and encoded in your browser; the video never leaves your device.
Why is my GIF so large?
GIF is an old, inefficient format. Reduce the duration, frame rate or width to make it smaller.
Which video formats work?
Any format your browser can play: MP4 (H.264) and WebM almost everywhere, MOV in Safari and usually in Chrome.
Is there sound in a GIF?
No. GIF doesn't support audio. Use MP4 to MP3 if you need the sound.
