Frequently Asked Questions
How much smaller will my GIF be?
Typically 50-70% smaller with Medium compression. High compression can achieve 80-90% reduction with visible quality loss.
What is lossy compression?
Lossy compression removes subtle color variations that are barely visible but take up file space. Higher levels = smaller file but more noticeable quality loss.
Should I reduce colors?
For simple animations or logos, reducing to 128 or 64 colors works great. Photos and complex animations look better with 256 colors.
What does frame rate control do?
Reducing frame rate (e.g., 30fps → 15fps) makes animation choppier but dramatically reduces file size. Use for looping backgrounds or non-critical animations.
Will transparency be preserved?
Yes, transparency is always preserved regardless of compression settings.
