slack-gif-creator

Create Slack-optimized animated GIFs using prebuilt templates like bounce, fade, and spin. The Skill handles frame construction, color quantization, and validation to ensure compliance with Slack size limits (128x128 for emoji, 480x480 for messages) and frame constraints under 3 seconds.

Slack emoji GIFs use 128x128 dimensions, 10–30 FPS, 48–128 colors, and durations under 3 seconds. Message GIFs scale to 480x480 with the same frame rate and color palette. The Skill validates these constraints automatically.

Yes. The Skill supports text rendering with outlines and shadows, gradient fills, and outline effects. Typography helpers ensure legibility within Slack's size and color limits for both emoji and message GIFs.

Prebuilt animation templates include bounce, explode, fade, slide, spin, and shake. Each template applies frame-by-frame motion within Slack's 3-second duration limit for emoji GIFs and performance constraints.

Color quantization reduces your GIF palette to 48–128 colors while maintaining visual quality. The Skill uses palette handling and PIL-based processing to optimize file size and rendering performance on Slack.

The Skill includes built-in Slack-specific validators that automatically check size, frame count, duration, and color constraints. Validation ensures your GIFs meet Slack's technical requirements for reactions, chat previews, and status indicators.
