Is there a watermark on the GIF?

No. The GIF is created locally and has no watermark.

Why is my GIF file large?

GIF is an old format that is not very efficient. Use a short clip and smaller dimensions to keep the file size down.

Does the GIF keep sound?

No. GIFs cannot store audio, so the result is a silent looping animation.

When to use a GIF

GIFs autoplay and loop without a player, which makes them ideal for short reactions, UI demos and step-by-step screenshots shared in chat or documentation.

Keep clips short

GIFs are not very efficient, so a short clip of a few seconds keeps the file small. For longer or higher-quality clips, MP4 is usually the better choice.
