Frequently asked questions
What does high quality mean here?+
It means the 256-color palette, 15 FPS named preset, and dithering are selected initially.
Will the GIF match my source images exactly?+
No. GIF quantizes each frame to a limited palette and can show color banding or dithering.
Can I trade quality for a smaller file?+
Yes. Choose a reduced palette or slower frame-rate preset before converting.
