GIF compression guide
Compression results depend on image content, transparency, animation, and how the format stores detail.
| Detail | GIF |
|---|---|
| Compression type | Palette reduction; Lossless mode keeps original bytes |
| Transparency | Supports simple 1-bit transparency |
| Best use case | Short animations, simple graphics, stickers, and low-color visual elements |
| Watch for | Detailed animation can become large because every frame adds weight. |
| Expected savings | Savings often come from simplifying frames, palettes, and metadata. |
