Frequently asked questions
How long can a GIF be?
Any length, but GIFs get big quickly. Keep it under about 10 seconds and 480px wide for easy sharing.
Why does my GIF look grainy?
GIFs only have 256 colors. We generate an optimal palette for each clip, which keeps gradients smooth compared with basic converters.
Which format should I choose?
MP4 (H.264) plays everywhere. WebM is great for websites, MOV for Apple editing apps, and GIF for short silent loops.
How do I make a video small enough for email or Discord?
Choose Target file size and enter the limit, for example 10 MB. Trimming or lowering the resolution helps keep the quality high.
Why do I need an account?
