Tips for best results

Trim to the best moment

Shorter clips export faster and keep the GIF focused.

Start around 12-15 FPS

This is a strong balance of smooth motion and smaller size for most clips.

Resize before you export

Reduce width or height to dramatically shrink file size without sacrificing clarity.

Use a global palette for smaller files

Global palettes are more compact; switch to per-frame if you notice banding.
