Keep GIFs under 10 seconds and 480px wide for the best balance of quality and file size on the web.
Use 10 FPS for screencasts and tutorials, 15 FPS for natural video to maintain smooth motion.
Select only the key moment from the video — trim it first to isolate the clip, then convert to GIF for faster loading and better shareability.
If the GIF is too large, reduce the width before lowering the frame rate to preserve animation smoothness.
FyleTools uses FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly to decode the video frames, apply color palette optimization, and encode the result as an animated GIF directly in your browser. The palette generation ensures optimal color quality within GIF's 256-color limit.
