Questions
Good to know
Why is a GIF so large?
GIF is an old format that stores almost every frame separately, with at most 256 colours. Fewer frames per second, a smaller width or a shorter section make the file a lot smaller.
Does the GIF have sound?
No, a GIF never has sound. If you want sound, trim a video with Trim a video instead.
Is my video sent anywhere?
No. The GIF is made in your browser, on your own device. Nothing goes to a server.
