Questions & answers

GIFs scale badly with length and resolution. Drop the resolution, lower the frame rate (10-15fps reads as smooth), and keep length under 10 seconds to control file size.

Technically unlimited, but 5-15 seconds is the sweet spot; longer GIFs get large fast and most platforms cap embedded GIFs at a few MB.

No. GIF conversion runs in your browser, your video never leaves your device, and we keep nothing.

MP4, MOV, WebM, and MKV all work. Output is always GIF.
