FAQ
# Why the GIF animation is slowed down after setting a higher FPS (like 30fps)?
Setting higher FPS means more frames in the GIF image, so to speed up the animation, just set a smaller frame delay time like 20ms or 50ms… (200ms by default), also you need to buy Capture GIF to set a custom delay time.
# How to reduce the GIF file size?
Setting a smaller FPS (such as 3 or 4) will get you a smaller GIF.
