The converter downloads once (about 32 MB), then works offline. Your videos stay on your device.
Why 1 MB?
Upload forms, CMS media libraries and older chat apps commonly cap animated images at 1 MB. Most reaction GIFs fit with barely visible changes.

Frequently asked questions
How much quality does 1 MB cost?
For typical chat-sized GIFs, almost none: a regenerated 128-color palette alone often does it. Big high-color GIFs converted from video give up dithering smoothness first.
My GIF is already under 1 MB. What happens?
It comes back untouched. The tool never re-encodes a file that already meets the target, so quality is never spent for nothing.
Is my GIF uploaded to compress it?
No. The re-encode runs in your browser through WebAssembly FFmpeg with a regenerated optimal palette. Nothing is sent anywhere.
How does the tool get under 1 MB?
It walks a quality ladder — fewer palette colors first, then a lower frame rate, then smaller dimensions — and stops at the first step that fits under 1 MB. Files already under the limit come back untouched.
