Settings that usually work
For chat and social, 480px wide at 15 fps is a good default — sharp enough to read, small enough to send. If the source is detailed or has fast motion, bump it to 720px and 20–24 fps. Bigger numbers mean bigger files, so if it comes out too heavy, run it through the GIF Compressor afterwards.
Why doing it in the browser matters
Uploading a video to a stranger's server is slow and you've no idea what happens to it on the other side. Doing the whole conversion locally means the file never moves, you're not waiting on someone else's bandwidth, and there's no hard cap apart from what your browser can hold in RAM.
