Made for chats and forums
A GIF plays on its own, loops forever and works in forums, email and chats that don’t play video. It is 480 pixels wide (or less), 12 frames a second, without sound.
Crop, speed, boomerang
Before you save, crop it to a square or 9:16, speed it up, or pick Boomerang under Reverse for a forward-and-back loop.
Short looks best
A GIF has at most 256 colors and grows quickly with every second, so a few seconds look best.
