When should a website use a product demo GIF?
Use a GIF when the motion is short, silent, and repeats naturally: a single click, transition, prompt result, or app interaction. Use MP4 instead when the clip is longer, needs audio, or file size matters more than automatic looping.
Try it with your recording →Why this workflow works
One recording. One clear output.
Match the page design
Use your website colors so the recording feels integrated rather than pasted on.
Keep the interface readable
Center and scale the screen while preserving important navigation and labels.
Choose GIF or MP4 honestly
Giflane supports both, so you can use the format that fits the motion and page performance.

Apply website colors
Enter a public website URL to extract a palette, or choose a custom color manually.

FAQ
Questions about this workflow
Should a product demo be GIF or MP4?
Use GIF for a short silent loop. Use MP4 for longer motion, better compression, or playback control.
Can Giflane use my website colors?
Yes. Enter a public URL to extract a palette, or use the custom color picker if the site blocks automated reading.
How long should a website GIF be?
Keep it to one action, usually 3–10 seconds. Longer sequences are generally better as MP4.
Does the source recording leave my device?
No. Giflane previews and renders the source locally in your browser.
