Why Use This Tool

Sharp, optimized GIFs

Two-pass palette encoding keeps gradients and skin tones clean instead of blocky.

Trim before you convert

Set a start and end time so the GIF only covers the moment you want.

Control size vs quality

Pick FPS (10/15/24) and width (320/480/640/original). Live size estimate helps you decide.

Frequently Asked Questions

15 fps is the sweet spot for most clips. Use 10 for simple UI captures where size matters, and 24 for fast motion where smoothness matters.

GIF is a silent format — audio is stripped during conversion. If you need sound, export as MP4 or WebM instead.
