FAQ

Questions and answers

How long can the GIF be?

Up to 30 seconds. GIFs get very large beyond that; for longer clips, an MP4 is smaller and looks better.

Is my video uploaded?

No. The GIF is made in your browser.

How do I make the GIF smaller?

Lower the width or the frame rate, or shorten the clip. 640 pixels wide at 10 frames a second suits most screen recordings.

Does the GIF have sound?

No. GIFs can't hold sound. To keep the sound, download an MP4 of the clip instead.
