Which format should I use?

FormatNotes
GIFPlays everywhere. Limited to 256 colors, so files are large and color banding can appear.
WEBPMuch smaller than GIF at the same quality. Plays in most modern browsers, Discord and Telegram.
APNGNo color loss, but the largest files. Good for short stickers and emotes.

How to make files smaller

File size grows with width × number of frames. A width of 480 px, 12 to 15 frames per second and a length under 5 seconds stays within the upload limits of most chat apps and forums.

FAQ

There is no preview.
The browser cannot play this codec (some HEVC or MKV files). You can still convert it by typing the start and end times.
Is sound included?
No. GIF, WEBP and APNG animations cannot contain sound.
Does it loop?
Yes. Saved animations are set to loop forever.
