About GIF image

GIF is a short, silent, looping animation with at most 256 colours. It plays inline everywhere, which keeps it popular for reactions and quick demos despite its large files.

What to expect

Pick the point in the clip to sample; for GIF also the length and frames per second. GIFs are limited to 256 colours, so dithering is on by default.
