MP4 files work best. If your video is in a different format, convert it to MP4 first for optimal results.
Discord limits file uploads to 8MB for non-Nitro users and 50MB for Nitro users. This tool makes it easy to create Discord-ready GIFs.
Discord Optimization Tips
- Use the "Discord Ready" preset for automatic optimization under 8MB
- Keep clips under 5 seconds for smaller files
- Use 480px or 320px width instead of 640px
- Lower frame rate to 10-15 FPS if needed
- Watch the live file size estimate as you adjust
- Look for the "Discord Ready" badge when under 8MB
Discord Emoji Size
For custom Discord emojis, use the "Discord Emoji" preset which creates 128x128 GIFs optimized for emoji slots.
Want the best looking GIF? Here is how to maximize quality:
Frame Rate
Use 24-30 FPS for smooth animations. This tool supports up to 60 FPS video to GIF conversion for ultra-smooth results. Higher FPS means larger files.
Width
Use 480px or 640px for high quality sharing. Going wider creates larger files without much visual benefit for most uses.
Quality Slider
Move the slider toward "Higher Quality" to preserve more color detail and reduce dithering artifacts.
Duration
Keep clips short. Even at high quality, 2-5 second GIFs stay manageable. Longer clips become very large.
GIF files can grow quickly. Here is how each setting affects file size:
Width Has the Biggest Impact
Reducing width from 640px to 320px can cut file size by 75%. Use 480px for general sharing, 240-320px for messaging apps.
Frame Rate Adds Up
15 FPS is a good balance for most GIFs. Use 24-30 FPS only when smoothness is critical. 10 FPS works for simple animations.
Shorter Is Smaller
Most viral GIFs are 2-5 seconds. Anything over 10 seconds will be large regardless of other settings.
