discord has changed its free upload limit more than once, from 8 mb to 10 mb and beyond, and boosted servers get more. we start at 8 mb because it fits under the older limit too. if your server allows more, type the new number in the target box and you will get a sharper gif.
discord plays gifs inline at about 400 px wide in chat, so going above 480 px mostly wastes bytes. keep reaction clips to 3 or 4 seconds. if you want it as an emoji or sticker instead, those have much smaller limits, so set the target to well under 1 mb.

frequently asked questions
what is the discord gif size limit?
it depends on your account and the server boost level and has changed over time. 8 mb is a safe number that works almost everywhere. check the limit shown when you upload and enter it as the target size.
why did discord say my gif is too large?
gifs are much bigger than the same clip as video. use fit a file size mode with a lower target, or shorten the clip to a few seconds.
will the gif keep playing on a loop?
yes, it loops forever by default. untick play once only if you want it to stop after one pass.
