Frequently asked questions
Can I make a transparent GIF?
Yes, with the limitations of GIF transparency. Edge quality can be better with a solid background.
Why is my GIF file large?
GIF compression is inefficient for large, colorful, high-frame-rate animation. Reduce canvas size or FPS, or use the video maker.
