Frequently asked questions
Is every frame cropped?
Yes. The crop applies to all frames, and the preview shows the result playing before you export.
Can I crop to an exact ratio?
Yes. Choose 1:1, 4:5, 16:9 or 9:16 while cropping to lock the shape.
Is the GIF maker really free with no watermark?
Yes. There is no watermark and no account needed. Everything is processed in your browser.
How do I make a GIF smaller?
Use the Balanced or Small preset, lower the width, reduce colors, raise lossy compression or drop every second frame. Keep "Store only changed pixels" on.
How many frames can a GIF have?
Up to 600 frames. For sharing, a few seconds at 10 to 15 fps and 480px wide is a good balance of smoothness and size.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Decoding, editing and GIF encoding all happen on your device, so it also works with private screenshots.
