Good settings for common uses
| Use | Size | Frames per second |
|---|---|---|
| Chat reactions | 320 px | 10 |
| Social media posts | 480 px | 10–15 |
| Product demos and tutorials | 640 px | 10 |
| Email newsletters | 480 px or less | 5–10, keep it under 1 MB if you can |
Screen recordings of apps and websites have few colors and little movement, so they make small, sharp GIFs. Camera footage has many colors and changes every frame, so keep those clips short.
Frequently asked questions
Can I convert other formats?
Yes. MOV, WebM and M4V work too, as long as your browser can play them.
How long can the GIF be?
Up to 600 frames, for example 60 seconds at 10 frames per second. Shorter GIFs load faster and are easier to share.
