Frequently asked questions

How long should my GIF be?
3-10 seconds is the sweet spot. Longer GIFs become large quickly due to GIF's inefficient compression.
What does FPS control?
Frames per second. Higher FPS = smoother motion but larger file. 15 FPS is a good default for most reactions.
What is the typical GIF file size?
A 5-second 480px wide 15fps GIF is usually 1-3 MB. Mobile-sharing-safe when under 5 MB.
Does the GIF have audio?
No — GIF is a still-image format that does not support audio. Video is converted visually only.
Is my MP4 uploaded?
No. Everything runs in your browser via FFmpeg.wasm.
Can I reduce GIF size after conversion?
Yes — pick a smaller width (320-480px), lower FPS (10-15), or shorter duration to reduce size by 2-5×.
