Frequently Asked Questions

Scale is the biggest lever — half the dimensions is roughly a quarter of the pixels. After that, fewer palette colors and a lower FPS both cut size substantially.

Dithering scatters pixels of the available palette colors to fake in-between shades. It hides banding in gradients at the cost of some file size — toggle it and compare.

Yes — that's exactly what this tool is for. When a platform genuinely requires a GIF, compression here keeps it under size limits without switching formats.

It was probably already optimized — small palette, low FPS, or previously compressed. When the palette and frame rate have no headroom left, dimensions are the remaining lever: scaling to 75% width removes ~44% of the pixels.

Most GIFs shot at 24–30 FPS still read smoothly at 12–15, which roughly halves the frames. Below 10, motion visibly steps — acceptable for memes and reaction clips, distracting for UI demos where cursor movement should look continuous.
