Convert a video to GIF under the forum size limit
Forums and ticket systems cap attachments at a few MB and only accept GIF. Your screen recording is 40 MB MP4. You need an auto-sized GIF that fits the cap without turning into a slideshow.

Frequently asked questions
Why does my GIF look washed out in other converters?
GIF only stores 256 colors. We use per-clip palette generation (two-pass) so colors stay accurate — cheap converters use a fixed palette that turns gradients into bands.
How long can the clip be?
The first 30 seconds are used. For longer loops, trim the source first — GIF size scales brutally with duration.
What if it cannot reach the cap?
You get the smallest achievable size before paying. Cut the clip shorter or lower the width/fps and retry.
When this tool is not the right choice
The platform accepts MP4/WebM — they are 10x smaller for the same quality.
