What formats and sizes of videos are supported?

Theoretically, it supports any video format natively playable by modern browsers (MP4, WebM, MOV, etc.). We recommend not uploading excessively large videos to prevent local browser out-of-memory errors. The ideal trimmed length for a GIF is 3 to 10 seconds.

What if the generated GIF file is too large?

You can lower the 'FPS' or 'Max Dimension' in the settings panel, which can exponentially reduce the final GIF size. For chat apps, try to keep the estimated size under 5MB.

Why is the playback slightly stuttering when using Reverse or Yo-Yo loop?

Because Reverse and Yo-Yo loops cannot use the browser's native hardware video decoder. We have to intercept the video stream and render it frame by frame on a Canvas. Due to browser single-thread rendering limitations, slight stuttering may occur, but it does NOT affect the smooth quality of the final exported GIF file!
