Frequently Asked Questions

The analyzer shows dimensions, number of frames, frame delays, total duration, loop count, color palettes (global and local), transparency information, and optimization suggestions. You can view individual frames and navigate through the animation frame by frame.

Large GIF files typically result from: many frames, high resolution, local color tables per frame, or inefficient encoding. Use our GIF Compressor to reduce file size by optimizing colors, reducing frames, or resizing dimensions.

The optimization score (0-100) indicates how well-optimized your GIF is. A score of 100 means the GIF is already well-optimized. Lower scores suggest opportunities to reduce file size through color reduction, frame optimization, or resizing. The analyzer provides specific suggestions based on your GIF's characteristics.

A global color table is shared by all frames in the GIF, while local color tables are specific to individual frames. Using only a global color table is more efficient for file size, but local tables allow each frame to have its own optimized palette of up to 256 colors.
