Video to GIF
Convert a video (MP4, MOV, WebM) to a GIF that's actually small and actually looks good on the surface you're posting to. Pairs naturally with /tiktok-launch-video, /reddit-launch-video, and /linkedin-launch-video for sharing renders in places where MP4 isn't supported (Slack threads, X cards, GitHub READMEs, transactional emails).
GIF is a terrible video format — but it's everywhere, so we use FFmpeg's two-pass palettegen / paletteuse flow to make it look as good as the format allows.
