Questions People Ask
Honest answers about how this works.
What does 'Interlacing' do?
Short answer: Interlacing allows a GIF to load progressively on slow connections, appearing blurred before fully resolving.
Can I really fix pixelated GIFs?
Our tool can optimize existing pixels, but it cannot 'add' detail to a low-quality source. It's best used to maintain quality at lower weights.
