Turn Social Videos Into GIFs — Workflow for X and TikTok

Download MP4 first, then convert to GIF for memes and posts — best settings for small file size.

Step 1 — Download MP4

Step 2 — Convert

Use ezgif.com, FFmpeg, or Photoshop:

  • Trim to under 15 seconds for social
  • Reduce width to 480px for smaller files
  • Lower frame rate (10–12 fps) for memes

Upload limits

Discord and Slack have GIF size caps — aim under 8 MB when possible.
