How it works
- Drop a video
Trim to the good bit first — GIFs are heavy, so seconds, not minutes.
- Set the feel
12–15 fps loops read as smooth. 320–480px wide is the useful size range.
- Convert and download
The palette pass is done twice so the colours come out clean instead of muddy.
Questions people actually ask
Why do GIFs get so big?
It's a 1987 format with no real compression — every frame is a full picture. That's why the size settings matter here more than anywhere else on this site.
GIF or MP4 — which should I share?
Every platform since 2010 takes MP4, at a tenth of the size. GIF survives where videos autoplay silently (chat apps, forums), which is its one advantage.
