FAQs

What is the ideal GIF length?

2-6 seconds is ideal for most uses. Shorter GIFs load faster and loop smoothly. Longer GIFs create larger file sizes.

How can I reduce GIF file size?

Reduce dimensions, lower frame rate, decrease duration, or reduce colors. 480-600px width, 10-15 FPS is good balance.

What frame rate should I use?

10-15 FPS for most GIFs. 20+ FPS for smooth motion but larger files. Lower FPS for static content saves space.

Can I convert any video to GIF?

Yes, most video formats (MP4, MOV, AVI, WEBM) can be converted to GIF. Keep clips short (2-6 seconds) for optimal file sizes and smooth playback.

What are the file size limits for social media GIFs?

Twitter: 15MB max, Instagram: 8MB for feed/15MB for stories, Discord: 8MB. Keep under 5MB for best compatibility across all platforms.

Should I use GIF or video format?

Use GIF for short loops without audio (memes, reactions). Use video (MP4/WEBM) for longer content with audio - videos are more efficient and offer better quality.
