Common use cases
- Keep clips 2-8 seconds for snappy GIF previews.
- Lower FPS for smaller files; higher FPS for smoother motion.
- Audio is removed automatically to keep GIFs light.
Turning a video clip into a GIF
A GIF is the format that plays everywhere without a player, which is why it still gets used for documentation and chat. Keep it short and small, because the format has no compression worth the name.
Making a GIF that loads
- 1
Cut first, convert second
Trim to the two or three seconds that carry the point. A GIF is measured in megabytes per second.
- 2
Reduce the frame rate deliberately
Ten to twelve frames per second reads as motion; copying the source frame rate triples the file size for no gain.
- 3
Shrink the dimensions
Halving the width cuts the file to roughly a quarter. Most embedded GIFs are far larger than the space they occupy.
Video to GIF questions
- Why is my GIF so large?
- The format stores every frame and compresses poorly. Length, frame rate and dimensions each multiply the size.
- Is there a better format for short loops?
- For the web, a muted looping video is far smaller. GIF survives because it works everywhere, including inside documents.
- Does this cost credits?
- No. Every local video tool on this site is free and spends no credits.
