Good-looking GIFs
One global palette of up to 256 colours and a sensible frame rate avoid the grainy look most converters produce.
Small files
Width and frame-rate presets for chat, web and large; a size estimate before you export.
Boomerang and speed
Play forward then back, or speed up 1.5× or 2× to fit more into a shorter GIF.
Frequently asked questions
How long can the GIF be?
Keep it under about 10 seconds; GIF size grows quickly with length and width.
Why is my GIF larger than the video?
GIF is an old format with no real compression. Reduce width, frame rate or colours.
Is the video uploaded?
No. Everything runs in your browser.
