Export under 3 MB
The Product Hunt preset sets 1270 px and 12 fps, then fits 3 MB.
Spend the 3 MB on motion
3 MB at 1270 px is tight: expect about 4–8 seconds of UI at 10–12 fps. Static areas cost almost nothing, so put the budget where things move.
- Use a solid Background, not a gradient.
- Cut or speed up idle pauses.
- Zoom in: big UI compresses better than a dense screen.
- Drop to 10 fps before dropping width.
Order the gallery like a story
Lead with the GIF of the product doing its main job, then supporting features in the same frame style. The gallery needs at least two images to show.
