GIF Fundamentals
What is GIF?
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is a bitmap image format with the following characteristics:
- Supports animation and transparency
- Limited to 256 colors per frame
- Widely used for simple graphics and web animations
- Lossless compression, but can result in large file sizes for complex images
Advantages of GIF
- Universal browser and device support
- Ideal for short animations, stickers, and simple graphics
- Supports transparency for overlay effects
- Easy to share and embed online
Why Compress GIFs?
GIF files can be large, especially for long or high-resolution animations. Compression can:
- Reduce file size for faster loading and sharing
- Optimize color palette to save space
- Drop unnecessary frames to further reduce size
- Improve website and app performance
GIF Optimization Tips
- Use the lowest acceptable number of colors
- Remove duplicate or unnecessary frames
- Optimize transparency for better compression
- Keep animations short and simple for best results
