GIF Maker

GIF uses an old, inefficient compression method and stores each frame separately. Modern video codecs like H.264 are dozens of times more efficient. Keep your source short (a few seconds), use a smaller output size, and a lower frame rate to keep file size manageable. For longer clips, MP4 or WebM is a much better format.

Technically there's no limit, but practically GIFs become very large very quickly past about 10 seconds. For sharing on messaging apps and social platforms, keep it under 6 seconds for best results. If you need longer, consider keeping the source as MP4 instead.

Yes. Each frame in the GIF maker can be reordered by dragging, removed individually, and given its own delay (frame duration). For video-to-GIF, you can adjust the start point, duration, frame rate, and output size before generating the final GIF.
