GIF GUIDANCE
Keep GIFs Small Without Making Them Choppy
Start here480 px · 10 FPS
A balanced default for reactions, demos, and short tutorial clips.
Smaller file320 px · 5–8 FPS
Use fewer pixels and frames when the GIF will be shared in chat or email.
Smoother motion640 px · 24–60 FPS
Best for short, motion-heavy clips; high FPS increases file size and processing time.
GIF is limited to 256 palette entries per frame and does not carry audio. If black bars are wasting space before conversion, clean the clip first with Motricialy’s Remove Black Bars from Video tool.
QUESTIONS
MP4 to GIF FAQ
Does converting MP4 to GIF keep the audio?
No. GIF is an image format and has no audio track. The output contains only animated frames from the selected clip.
Why is my GIF larger than the MP4?
MP4 uses modern video compression, while GIF stores a sequence of palette-based images. Shorter clips, a smaller width, and fewer frames per second usually reduce GIF size the most.
What settings should I use for a small GIF?
Try 320 px at 5–8 FPS with Small file color detail. For most general-purpose clips, 480 px at 10 FPS is a stronger quality balance.
Is my MP4 uploaded to Motricialy?
No upload is required for the conversion workflow. The selected video is read by your browser and the GIF is assembled on your device.
How long can the GIF clip be?
Clips can be up to 20 seconds, with a 600-frame limit. For example, 60 FPS supports up to 10 seconds. Shorter clips convert faster.
