Need MP4 instead of GIF?
GIF is best for short silent loops. For longer clips, audio, or better quality per megabyte, use the private video compressor or read the guide to compress video without uploading it.
Why this makes better GIFs
Video uses millions of colors; GIF supports only 256. Most online converters do a single naive pass, which causes banding and muddy colors. This tool runs a two-pass palette — it first analyzes your clip to build the optimal 256-color palette, then renders the GIF against it. That's the professional FFmpeg approach, and it keeps your GIF crisp.
Keeping GIF files small
GIF has no modern video compression, so size grows fast with length, width and frame rate. Trim to the few seconds that matter, keep the width around 320–480px, and use 10–15 fps. Read the complete guide to understand why GIFs get so large and how to make them smaller.
