Frequently Asked Questions
How does GIF compression work?
GIF optimization reduces file size by decreasing the color palette, skipping redundant frames, and scaling down dimensions. The "quality" setting controls how aggressively the file is compressed.
Will I lose quality?
The "Light" preset preserves near-original quality. "Balanced" is a sweet spot for most uses. "Heavy" reduces file size aggressively with some visible quality loss. Use "Custom" for fine control.
What does "frame skip" do?
Frame skip removes every 2nd, 3rd, or 4th frame. This cuts file size proportionally but speeds up the animation. The frame delays are adjusted to keep the total duration similar.
