Make a Better-Sized GIF
Trim before converting, choose a practical width and keep frame rate modest. The converter builds an optimised color palette before the final GIF pass, which improves visual quality compared with a one-step conversion.
Frequently asked questions
How long should the GIF be?
For reasonable size and browser performance, 2 to 8 seconds usually works best.
What frame rate should I use?
10 to 12 FPS is smooth enough for most GIFs. Lower FPS creates smaller files.
Why are GIF files large?
GIF uses an old limited-color format without modern video compression. Reduce duration, width or FPS for a smaller file.
Is the video uploaded?
No. The GIF is created locally with ffmpeg.wasm.
