FAQ

Video to GIF FAQ

Why is my GIF larger than the video?
GIF is a 1987 format with no real video compression. Keep clips short (under 10 seconds), width at 480px or less and 10–15 FPS to keep sizes reasonable.
How do you keep colors from banding?
We run a two-pass palette generation so each GIF gets its own optimized 256-color palette instead of a generic one.
Can I make a GIF from a long video?
Yes, but pick a short range. GIFs longer than 15 seconds get very large and many platforms will refuse them.
