Worked example
Measured on our own first 15 seconds of our launch film, 480 pixels wide at 15 frames a second.
Source clip
15 seconds of 1080p
GIF, 480 px, 15 fps
3.6 MB
That is 225 frames, each one stored whole. Halving the width to 320 is the single biggest saving available, because it cuts every frame at once.
1. Add a video. 2. Pick the clip. 3. Set size and frame rate. 4. Build and download.

Questions

No. The file is read by the page, handed to ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly, and written back out, all on your own machine. There is no upload step, and closing the tab discards everything.
GIF stores every frame as its own image, so the file grows with length in a way MP4 does not. Fifteen seconds at 15 frames a second is already 225 frames. Past that you want a video, not a GIF.
GIF allows 256 colours. We run the clip once to work out the best 256 for your footage, then encode against that palette. It is two passes instead of one, and it is the difference between clean gradients and visible banding.
Drop the width first, then the frame rate, then the length. Width is the biggest lever because it cuts every frame at once. Ten frames a second still reads as motion for a screen recording.
500 MB and 10 minutes. Everything runs inside one browser tab, and a tab has a fixed memory budget. Past those limits the run gets slow or fails outright, so a desktop encoder is the better tool.
