Frequently Asked Questions
How do I handle this issue: compressed output is still too large?
Tune frame count/FPS first, then dimensions, then palette depth for a more stable result.
Will compress GIF keep animation?
Yes. Output keeps GIF animation behavior unless you intentionally convert format.
Why can upload results differ from local preview?
Some services re-encode media after upload, changing final size or smoothness.
What is the next step if size is still too large?
Run targeted compression again, then switch to MP4 when GIF limits become too strict.
