Does the page I name get uploaded anywhere?

No file of yours is uploaded, because you do not give it a file. What is sent is the address, and a server then opens that address and takes the picture. The picture comes back here and everything after it happens on your machine. That is a different promise from the rest of this site and this page says so rather than blurring it.

Can it capture a page I have to log in to see?

No, and it should not. The page is opened by a server that is not signed in as you, so what it photographs is what a stranger would see. A private dashboard would come back as a login screen.

Why is the GIF only a few hundred pixels wide?

Because every frame of a GIF is a full picture with no compression between frames, so the file grows with the width and the number of frames together. Measured on a page of five thousand pixels, the standard quality costs about 27 KB a frame and the high one about 50. Standard at the normal speed is a megabyte, which you can post; the same page at full width would be tens of them.

The colours look flatter than the real page.

A GIF holds 256 colours and a web page holds millions, so something has to go. The 256 are chosen once from the top, middle and bottom of the page together, rather than separately for each frame, which is what stops a flat background from shimmering as the picture moves.

It said the page scrolls faster than the speed I picked.

A long page at a slow speed wants more frames than the file can afford, so the frame budget wins and the page says so rather than quietly ignoring the setting. Choosing a smaller quality buys the frames back, because a smaller frame costs fewer bytes.

It said there is nothing to scroll.

The page fits inside one frame, so the animation would be a still image. Try a taller page, or a narrower shape like the phone one, which makes the frame shorter and gives the scroll somewhere to go.

1
Type an address
A server opens the page and photographs all of it, top to bottom, not just the part that fits on a screen. The address is the only thing that leaves your machine, and the page is visited by that server rather than by you, so this is for pages anyone can reach and not for anything behind a login.
2
The scroll is made here
The tall picture comes back to this page and the animation is built on your own machine: a window travels down the image and each step becomes a frame. Nothing is sent anywhere for that part, which is also why changing the settings costs nothing and takes a second.
3
Shape it and save it
Wide for a README or a slide, tall for a phone mockup, square for a feed. Quality sets how big and how smooth it is, speed sets how fast it travels, and the length follows from the two. Changing any of it re-uses the picture already taken rather than opening the page again.
