Target size is an estimate: motion, color complexity, FPS and width affect the result. If needed, the tool lowers width, FPS and palette quality up to four times. Force 256 colors ignores target size and uses your other settings directly.

Frequently asked questions
Is my video uploaded?
No. Frame extraction and GIF encoding run locally in your browser.
What does force 256 colors do?
It keeps a 256-color palette and disables target-size optimization, so width, FPS and clip length determine the output size.
Which format works best?
H.264 MP4 has the widest browser compatibility. MOV and WebM work when your browser supports their internal codec.
