FAQ
Why do other converters look washed out?
GIFs have only 256 colors; one-pass converters pick a bad palette. This tool generates the palette from your actual frames first — that's the difference.
What size and frame rate should I use?
480 px wide at 12 fps suits chat and READMEs; 640 px reads better on retina screens. Higher fps means smoother motion and a bigger file.
GIF or MP4 for social?
Use GIF for embeds, docs and reactions; use MP4 (via Trim or Speed) when sound matters — GIFs are silent.
