Questions

GIF or MP4?

GIFs are great for group chats and websites. For TikTok, Reels and Shorts, pick MP4: it’s sharper and those apps prefer video.

How big is the GIF?

Usually 100–300 KB for a 30-second chat, because only the parts of the screen that change are stored in each frame.

Is it free?

Yes. No sign-up, no app to install, no ads. Everything runs in your browser.

Does my chat get uploaded anywhere?

No. The video is made on your own phone or computer. What you type never leaves it.

Is there a watermark?

A tiny “fauxreel” in the corner and a short card at the end, so people know it’s a joke.
