What is the size limit for a custom Slack emoji GIF?▼

A custom Slack emoji GIF has a strict dimension limit of 128x128 pixels. The Skill validates these dimensions, frame counts, and file sizes to ensure full Slack compatibility.

Can I use Pillow and numpy to compress GIF frames for Slack?▼

Yes, you can use Pillow, numpy, and imageio to process GIF frames for Slack. The Skill leverages these Python libraries to apply frame deduplication and color quantization for compact output.

What's the best way to validate GIF dimensions and file size for Slack?▼

The best way to validate GIF dimensions and file size for Slack is using built-in validation utilities that check platform-specific constraints, ensuring your animated GIF meets emoji or message requirements.

Why does my animated GIF exceed Slack's file size limits?▼
