    Questions

    Can I make a GIF bigger?

    Yes, with a custom width, but enlarging can’t add detail, so it looks soft. Making GIFs smaller works best, and makes the file much smaller too.

    What size do chat apps and forums use?

    Most show GIFs at 480 pixels wide or less; Discord emoji are 128 pixels and stickers 320. A smaller GIF loads faster and is less likely to hit an upload limit.

    Why does a GIF have only 256 colours?

    GIF stores each frame with a palette of at most 256 colours. When a new GIF is written, the best 256 colours for the whole animation are chosen; dithering mixes neighbouring colours to smooth out gradients.

    Is there a size limit?

    Up to 200 MB per file on a computer (50 MB on a phone). Every frame is unpacked while the GIF is processed, so very long or very large animations need a lot of memory; those limits keep it working on most devices.

    Are my GIFs uploaded anywhere?

    No. Your GIFs are opened and processed on your device, and the results are saved straight back to it. Nothing is uploaded. How to check.

    Is it free? Do I need an account?

    It is free to use and there is nothing to sign up for. There are no watermarks and no daily limits.
