Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions & Answers
Clear answers about image formatting, compression standards, and privacy.
Will compressing my GIF make the animation choppy or slow?
No. Our compressor preserves the exact millisecond delay between every individual frame while reducing the color palette and inter-frame redundancy.
Why are animated GIFs so much heavier than modern video formats?
GIF was created in 1987 without temporal motion prediction. Every frame contains an entire bitmap image. Optimizing palette indexes is essential to prevent GIFs from ballooning to dozens of megabytes.
