Frequently asked questions
Is my video uploaded to a server?⌄
No. Frames are captured and the GIF is encoded entirely in your browser with a built-in GIF89a encoder — your video never leaves your device and there are no daily conversion limits.
Why is my GIF file so large?⌄
GIF is a 1987 format that stores every frame as a full image with a 256-color palette, so it is inherently much larger than MP4. Reduce the width, lower the frame rate to 10 or 5 fps, or shorten the clip — a 3–6 second loop at 320 px is the sweet spot for chats and forums.
How is GIF quality kept high with only 256 colors?⌄
The encoder samples frames across your whole clip and builds an optimized palette with median-cut quantization, then maps every pixel to the nearest palette color. Scenes with steady colors convert almost losslessly; very colorful gradients show slight banding — that is a limit of the GIF format itself.
