FAQ

About video to gif

Why does the tool generate a palette?

GIF supports a limited color palette. Generating it from the selected clip produces cleaner gradients and fewer artifacts.

How do I keep the GIF small?

Use a short duration, a width around 480–640 pixels and 10–15 frames per second.

Does the GIF loop?

Yes. The generated file is configured to loop continuously.
