Questions, answered
What image formats can I use?
PNG, JPG and WebP are accepted, and you can mix them in one animation. PNG is best for screenshots and line art; JPG is fine for photographs.
Can each frame have a different duration?
Yes. Set the timing per frame so an instruction can hold long enough to read while transitional frames pass quickly.
How many images can I combine?
There is no fixed limit, but every frame is stored in full inside a GIF, so file size climbs quickly. Dozens of frames are routine; hundreds usually means you should be exporting a video instead.
Do my images need to be the same size?
They do not have to be, but the result is much cleaner if they are. Different dimensions cause the animation to jump as frames are padded or scaled to a common canvas.
Does the GIF loop forever?
Looping is configurable — endlessly, which is the GIF convention, or a set number of passes. Endless looping is what most chat apps and forums expect.
