Basic Knowledge
Differences Between GIF and Video Files
GIF is an image format with a maximum of 256 colors and no audio. It automatically loops without needing a play button, making it ideal for short looping effects lasting a few seconds. However, image quality and file size efficiency are inferior to video formats like MP4.
What is FPS (Frame Rate)?
FPS refers to the number of frames per second. Higher values result in smoother motion, but increase file size. For GIFs, it's common practice to reduce the frame rate to around 10–15 FPS to minimize file size.
