Question 1

Is the video sent to a server?

Accepted Answer

No. The current workflow extracts frames and encodes GIFs locally in the browser.

Question 2

What are common use cases?

Accepted Answer

Great for turning highlights into shareable GIFs, creating product demo animations, embedding tutorial steps into docs, and making quick reaction memes.

Question 3

How can I control GIF looping?

Accepted Answer

Pick a loop mode before exporting. You can generate a GIF that plays once or loops forever.

Question 4

How can I reduce the GIF file size?

Accepted Answer

Shorten the clip first, then reduce output width, lower FPS, or choose a faster quality preset to shrink the final file.

Question 5

What FPS should I choose?

Accepted Answer

10–15 FPS is a good balance for most use cases. Higher FPS increases file size and encoding time quickly.

Question 6

Why is MP4 the only input format?

Accepted Answer

This tool currently targets MP4 for better browser compatibility. Additional formats can be added later if needed.
