Examples

1. Web-Ready Animated Banner

Web Designer
Background
A designer created a high-quality animation in AVIF format but needs it to work on a legacy platform that only accepts GIFs.
Problem
The AVIF file is incompatible with the target platform's image display requirements.
How to Use
Upload the AVIF file, set the frame delay to 100ms, and enable 'Optimize for Size' to ensure fast page loading.
Example Config
frameDelay: 100, optimizeSize: true
Outcome
A perfectly optimized, web-compatible GIF that retains the original animation flow.

2. Retro Style Social Media Post

Content Creator
Background
A creator wants to give their modern digital art a 'retro' feel by converting it to a lower-color GIF format.
Problem
The original AVIF file has too many colors and looks too modern for the desired aesthetic.
How to Use
Upload the file, set the color count to 64, and enable dithering to achieve a classic, grainy retro look.
Example Config
colors: 64, dithering: true
Outcome
A stylized, low-color GIF that matches the intended retro visual theme.
