Question 1

What is the best length for a GIF?

Accepted Answer

For most use cases, 3–10 seconds is ideal. Longer GIFs become large and may load slowly or be difficult to share.

Question 2

How can I keep my GIF file size small?

Accepted Answer

Use a smaller width, a lower frame rate such as 10–15 FPS, and a shorter clip duration. These changes greatly reduce GIF file size while keeping the animation clear.

Question 3

Why does my GIF look choppy?

Accepted Answer

If the frame rate is too low or the original video contains very fast motion, the GIF may look choppy. Increasing the FPS slightly or choosing a clearer segment of the video can make the animation smoother.

Question 4

To create a GIF from a YouTube video, you should first download the segment you want to use and then upload it to FastlyConvert, making sure to respect copyright and the terms of use of the original platform.
