Use the GIFBuilder class to add PIL Image frames, then call save() with your desired color count. Set optimize_for_emoji=True to automatically resize to 128x128 and reduce colors for Slack emoji requirements.

Slack emoji GIFs should be 128x128 pixels, with 64x64 to 128x128 being acceptable. Keep duration under 3 seconds, use 10-30 FPS, and limit colors to 48-128 to keep file size small.

Lower the FPS to 10, reduce colors to 48 with num_colors, use smaller dimensions like 128x128, and enable remove_duplicates=True to drop near-identical frames. The optimize_for_emoji flag applies several of these automatically.

Call validate_gif() with your file path and is_emoji=True for emoji GIFs. It returns whether the GIF passes plus details on dimensions, size, frame count, and duration. Use is_slack_ready() for a quick boolean check.

The easing module provides linear, ease_in, ease_out, ease_in_out, bounce, elastic, and back variants. Use interpolate(start, end, t, easing) to compute smooth positions or scales between two values across frames.

Yes, load the uploaded image with PIL's Image.open() and either animate it directly or use it as visual reference for colors and style. The skill does not include pre-packaged graphics, so all drawing uses PIL primitives.
