Frequently asked questions
- How do I reduce the file size of a GIF?
- Use the optimize function to reduce the color palette and apply lossy compression. You can also resize the GIF to smaller dimensions. A 500px wide GIF is often half the file size of a 1000px one.
- Can I extract frames from an animated GIF?
- Yes. The frame extraction mode exports each frame as an individual PNG image. This is useful for editing specific frames or using GIF frames as static images.
- Does resizing a GIF preserve the animation?
- Yes. All frames are resized together while preserving frame timing, delays, and transparency. The animation plays identically at the new size.
