Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my GIF file so large?

GIF format is uncompressed and can produce large files. For best results, use short clips (under 10 seconds). Consider using WebM or MP4 for longer content.

Can I control the GIF quality?

The tool automatically optimizes to 10fps at 480px width for a good balance of quality and file size.

Is there a video length limit?

No hard limit, but GIFs work best for short clips. Longer videos will produce very large GIF files.
