Best GIF Settings for Social Media

Each platform handles GIFs differently. Use these settings for best results.

Platform Quick Reference

*Discord Nitro: 50 MB

General Guidelines

Resolution: 360p balances quality and file size for most platforms.

Frame rate:

• 10 FPS: Small files, slightly choppy
• 15 FPS: Smooth, good file size (recommended)
• 20 FPS: Very smooth, large files

Duration: Shorter is better. 2-5 seconds works for most use cases.

Common Mistakes

• GIF too long (every second adds file size)
• Resolution too high (480p max is enough)
• Poor loop timing (ensure smooth start/end transition)
