Frequently asked questions
How do I make a good-looking GIF?
Set a start time and a short length (2–5 seconds works best), then tune the frame rate and width. Higher frame rate and width look smoother but make larger files.
Why do the colours look better than other GIF makers?
It uses FFmpeg's two-pass palette method (palettegen + paletteuse), which builds an optimised colour palette per clip instead of dithering against a fixed one.
Is my video uploaded?
No — the GIF is generated in your browser and your video never leaves your device.
