Frequently Asked Questions

What video length works best for GIFs?

GIFs work best for short clips of 2-10 seconds. Longer clips produce very large files because GIF is not an efficient format for extended animation.

How can I reduce the file size of my output GIF?

Lower the resolution, reduce the frame rate, or trim the clip to a shorter duration. All three adjustments significantly reduce the final GIF file size.

Why does my GIF look grainy compared to the original video?

GIF is limited to 256 colors per frame, which can cause visible banding in gradients. Reducing the resolution helps minimize this effect on detailed scenes.
