Frequently Asked Questions

Why are GIFs so much larger than videos?+
GIF is a 1987 format storing every frame as a full image with no modern compression. A few seconds of GIF can outweigh a minute of MP4 โ€” keep clips short.
What clips make good GIFs?+
Short loops of 2โ€“6 seconds: reactions, product demos, UI recordings. For anything longer, an MP4 is smaller and looks better.
Where do GIFs still beat video?+
GIFs autoplay inline in messengers, README files, forums, e-mails and anywhere video embedding is blocked โ€” that universality is why the format survives.
Is there a color limitation?+
Yes โ€” GIF is limited to 256 colors per frame, so subtle gradients may show banding. Screen recordings and animations convert especially cleanly.
