Frequently asked questions
What settings make the best GIF?
3–6 seconds, 480px wide, 12 FPS. Shorter and narrower always means a much smaller, faster-loading GIF.
Why is my GIF file bigger than the video clip?
GIF is a 1987 format with no real compression — it stores near-complete frames. That's expected; lower the width/FPS or shorten the moment to shrink it.
Can the GIF keep sound?
GIFs have no sound by design. Want sound? Keep it as video and use our Video Trimmer or Compressor to make it shareable.
WhatsApp shows my GIF as a sticker — good?
Very — small GIFs around 240–360px often appear as animated stickers/GIFs in chats and get forwarded a lot.
