Why this makes better GIFs

Video uses millions of colors; GIF supports only 256. Most online converters do a single naive pass, which causes banding and muddy colors. This tool runs a two-pass palette — it first analyzes your clip to build the optimal 256-color palette, then renders the GIF against it. That's the professional FFmpeg approach, and it keeps your GIF crisp.

Keeping GIF files small

GIF has no modern compression, so size grows fast with length, width and frame rate. Trim to the few seconds that matter, keep the width around 320–480px, and use 10–15 fps. Those three controls do almost all the work of fitting a chat or upload limit.
