Video to GIF

Palette Optimization

GIFs are limited to 256 colors. The tool samples decoded frames, builds an adaptive palette, and maps every frame to those colors before encoding. Smaller palettes mean smaller files but more banding.

Lanczos Scaling

When resizing video frames, Lanczos interpolation preserves sharp edges better than bilinear scaling. This matters for GIFs because they have no anti-aliasing — blurry scaling looks noticeably worse.

Short Clips Work Best

GIF is an ancient format with no compression between frames. A 5-second GIF at 10 FPS is 50 uncompressed frames. Keep clips under 10 seconds and FPS under 15 for reasonable file sizes.
Pro Tip: For social media, 480px width at 10 FPS with 128 colors hits the sweet spot between quality and file size. Twitter and Discord auto-convert large GIFs to MP4 anyway.
