Pro tips
Best settings for a great GIF
Small changes make a big difference to how smooth your GIF looks and how big the file is.
⏱ Keep it short
2–6 seconds makes the best GIFs. Short loops look better and load faster everywhere.
📐 Pick the right size
480 px suits chats, blogs and slides. Use 320 px for reactions, 640–800 px only when detail matters.
🎞️ Choose the frame rate
10–15 fps looks smooth for most clips. Save 20–30 fps for fast action — it makes the file bigger.
🎨 Colors vs. file size
256 colors with Smooth dithering looks best. Pattern dithering or fewer colors makes the file much smaller.
🗜 Hitting an upload limit?
Set Max file size in Output. Or choose WebP — it is often 3–5× smaller than GIF.
🔁 Make it loop smoothly
Use Boomerang for clips that don't loop naturally — the end flows straight back into the start.
