Immediately after that , the Create GIF interface appears , we choose the video quality we want to create as shown below.

Low GIF quality will result in a smaller file size, which will result in faster export, while high quality will result in a sharper image but a larger file size. It also shows you details like the length of the GIF, resolution, and frame rate.
