What you get
- The GIF gets a colour palette made for that clip, so it looks as good as a GIF can.
- It's kept to at most 15 frames per second and 720 pixels wide, which keeps the file a sensible size.
- No watermark, no length limit.
- Each GIF is saved next to its original, with the same name.
- Your original file is never changed. If the new name is taken, Crustify adds (1), (2) and so on.
- Long files show their progress in a small panel, and you can cancel at any time.

Questions
MP4 to GIF, answered.
How do I make the GIF smaller?
Trim the video first (Ctrl wheel, Trim) so the GIF is only the part you need. Then use Compress on the GIF; it stays a GIF and shrinks to the size you choose.
Does the GIF have sound?
No. GIFs can't hold sound. If you need sound, share the MP4 instead.
