Questions
Where do I get a PGN?
Every chess site can export one: on Lichess and chess.com it is under Share or Download on a finished game. It is plain text that starts with lines in square brackets, followed by the moves.
Why is my GIF cut short?
Games are cut at 160 moves, because past that the file becomes too big to be pleasant to send. Shorter games and the Small size make smaller files.
Is the game uploaded anywhere?
No. The board is drawn and the file is written by your browser, on your device. Nothing is sent to a server.
