    Tell Vuoom the limit, such as 10 MB for GitHub, and it fits the GIF under it.

  • MP4 on your GPU

    H.264 up to 60 fps with an AAC soundtrack, encoded by NVIDIA, Intel or AMD hardware when available.

Questions.

How do I record a GIF for a GitHub README?

Record with Vuoom, trim, export as GIF with the fit-under-10-MB helper, then press Copy and paste into the README editor on GitHub.

Is there a watermark?

Never. Vuoom is free and open source.

Which is smaller, GIF or MP4?

MP4 is usually far smaller for the same length. GIF plays everywhere without a player, which is why READMEs and chats still use it.
