Question 1

Does resizing preserve GIF animation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All frames of the animation are resized together, preserving timing and playback.

Question 2

Can I compress while resizing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Under "Image Compression," choose any method. "Target file size (%)" is especially useful for hitting platform-specific size limits.

Question 3

What dimensions should I use for Discord?

Accepted Answer

For general GIFs, 640×360 or smaller. For custom emoji, 128×128 at under 256 KB. Use "Resolution Percentage" at 50% to halve dimensions.

Question 4

Does resizing reduce GIF file size?

Accepted Answer

Yes, significantly. Halving dimensions (50%) typically reduces file size by 60–75% since GIF compresses each frame independently.

Question 5

Should I resize as GIF or convert to WebP?

Accepted Answer

For universal animated image support, keep GIF. For modern browsers, GIF to WebP gives smaller files with better quality.
