Frequently asked questions

How do I convert a screen recording to GIF?

Upload your MP4 recording to this tool, trim it to the clip you want (usually under 15 seconds), choose a resolution, and download the GIF.

Why is my GIF file so large?

GIF is an inefficient format. Keep clips short (under 10 seconds) and reduce resolution for smaller file sizes. For embedding in web pages, an MP4 with autoplay is a better choice.
