Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum GIF duration?

There is no strict limit, but GIFs longer than 15-30 seconds can become very large. Keeping clips short produces better results.

Can I control the file size?

Yes. Lower the frame rate (10 fps is usually enough), reduce the width, and shorten the duration to get smaller files.

Which video formats are supported?

MP4, WebM, MOV, and AVI. The server uses FFmpeg, which supports virtually all common video codecs.
