Keeping GIFs small

GIFs get big quickly. Shorter clips, a smaller size and 10–15 fps keep the file light. For long clips, an MP4 is usually a better choice.

Colors

GIFs can show up to 256 colors per frame. The tool picks the best 256 colors for every frame to keep the picture as close to the video as possible.

Private by design

Your video is processed on your own device and never uploaded.
