GIFs grow quickly: a few seconds at full width can pass 20 MB. Discord rejects anything over your upload limit.

This preset builds one color palette for the whole clip at 480 px and 15 frames per second, then lowers the frame rate or width only if it needs to fit under 20 MB.
Questions
- Should I send a GIF or a video on Discord?
- A short MP4 is usually much smaller and sharper, and Discord plays it inline. Use a GIF for reactions you want to reuse.
- Can I use this GIF as an emoji?
- Emoji have a much smaller 256 KB limit. Use the Discord emoji GIF preset instead.
- Is there a watermark?
- Never.
