Hi there,

I’ve been using ScreenToGif for recording my screen, and it’s a great tool! However, I’m facing an issue with the GIF file sizes. For example, I created a 28-second long GIF, and its file size is 12MB, which feels a bit too large.

I’m not very technical, and I find the settings a bit confusing. Could you please guide me on how I can reduce the GIF file size without compromising on quality? I’m looking for a way to achieve smaller file sizes for GIFs but still maintain the visual quality.

Any advice or recommended settings would be greatly appreciated!
