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.

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.
Step by step
When should a website use a product demo GIF?
- 1
Choose one feature
Write the product claim first, then record only the interaction that proves it.
- 2
Trim the setup
Start close to the action and hold the result just long enough to understand it.
- 3
Apply website colors
Enter a public website URL to extract a palette, or choose a custom color manually.
- 4
Select GIF compression
Balanced is a practical starting point; use Small file for faster-loading pages.
- 5
Publish with context
Add descriptive alt text, reserve the image dimensions, and place the visual near the matching copy.
Practical defaults
Recommended product demo settings
These settings are a good starting point. Adjust them if your on-screen text is hard to read or the exported file is larger than you need.

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.
