Shrinking Animated GIFs without Losing Motion
Animated GIFs are notoriously inefficient because each frame contains a full raster image. MediaConvertKit utilizes FFmpeg WebAssembly with an adaptive two-pass color palette generator to drastically compress animated GIFs.
Perfect for Discord emojis, Slack reactions, Reddit posts, and email newsletters where upload size limits are strict.
