FAQPage Schema
How do I create animated GIFs from frames for Slack?▼

To create animated GIFs from frames for Slack, assemble your image frames using the builder and apply color quantization. You can configure settings like size, frame rate, and color palette to ensure the output meets Slack messaging requirements.

What dimensions should a Slack emoji GIF be?▼

A Slack emoji GIF should be 128x128 pixels, while standard Slack messaging GIFs are optimized at 480x480 pixels. The skill applies these dimensions during frame assembly and emoji-optimized export.

How does color quantization optimize GIF animations?▼

Color quantization optimizes GIF animations by reducing the number of distinct colors in the palette. This decreases the final file size while maintaining visual quality for Slack reactions, avatars, or tutorials.

Can I deduplicate frames when assembling a Slack GIF?▼

Yes, you can deduplicate frames when assembling a Slack GIF. Optional frame deduplication removes identical consecutive frames to reduce file size before applying color quantization and exporting the animation.

What is the best way to validate Slack GIFs before export?▼

The best way to validate Slack GIFs before export is to run optional pre-run validations. This checks your frame assembly, color quantization, and dimension settings against Slack requirements prior to generating the file.
