Tips & Tricks

• Use images with the same dimensions for best results
• Lower quality settings create smaller files but may reduce image clarity
• Frame delay is in milliseconds (1000ms = 1 second)
• Typical GIF frame rate is 10-30 frames per second
• For smooth animations, use consistent timing between frames
• The preview shows the first frame as a static preview

This editor uses pure JavaScript libraries to generate GIFs client-side. All image processing happens in your browser using the gif.js library, ensuring your images never leave your device. The generated GIF is created using efficient compression algorithms to balance quality and file size.
