Frequently asked questions

Why is my GIF limited to 15 seconds?+

GIF is an inefficient format — 15s at 10fps is already ~150 frames and can reach many megabytes. For longer clips, trim the moment that matters.

Which video formats work?+

Whatever your browser can play — MP4 (H.264) and WebM work everywhere; HEVC/MOV support depends on your device.

How do I keep the file small?+

Lower the width and fps, and keep the clip short. 360px at 10fps is a good social-media balance.

I built a free random number generator that works instantly in the browser — no signup, no ads in your face
Body
Hey r/[subreddit],

I kept needing a quick random number generator and most options online were slow or behind paywalls, so I built one that:

• Runs 100% in your browser (your data never leaves your device)
• No signup, no email wall, no popups
• Loads in under a second on mobile

It covers the standard random number use cases (random, number, generator, rng) and links out to the formula + worked examples if you want to learn the math.
