FAQ
Why not just use Giphy?
Giphy uploads your clip and applies a watermark on free tiers. This tool keeps the GIF private and produces a clean, watermark-free output.
How big should the GIF be?
Twitter caps GIFs at 15 MB. A 5-second 480p 15fps GIF with custom palette is around 5–8 MB — well within range.
Does this run in my browser?
Yes — the tool uses FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. Your file never uploads to a server, never leaves your device, and there is no signup or watermark.
