Animated GIFs and limitations

Animated GIFs are converted to a single static frame during compression. If you need to keep animation, use a dedicated GIF optimization tool instead.

When to use GIF

  • Simple graphics with limited colors.
  • Icons or UI elements that do not require transparency gradients.
  • Small, static images where PNG or WebP is not required.

GIF compression tips

  • Reduce dimensions before compression.
  • Use WebP for better quality at smaller sizes.
  • Keep files under typical email attachment limits.
