How to optimize GIF banners

GIF is a popular web format due to its frame-by-frame animation capabilities.

Ad serving companies and sites all have their own unique standards, most accept creatives no larger than 150kb. But, for example, DV360 accepts GIFs up to 10MB.

Viewst doesn't optimize GIF and MP4 and provides you with high-quality file so to give you an opportunity to use it whenever you want and to change the quality you want.

To reduce the overall size of the GIF file, we recommend that you follow these guidelines:

  • Try to avoid elements and pictures with a gradient. The presence of all the colors of the rainbow within the GIF animation online will increase the weight and degrade the quality of the banner. GIF has only 256 colors in the palette, and for a smooth gradient we need to change colors smoothly, and GIF does not allow that.

  • Reduce the duration of animations and additional effects. Long animations add weight, and effects degrade quality. For example, if text or a picture has a shadow, then when the file is converted to GIF, this shadow can become a dirty spot.

  • If your case allows, reduce the banner resolution using the resize function. GIFs of lower resolution weigh less.

If your creative has a high weight and you have followed all of our recommendations above, use https://onlinegiftools.com/optimize-gif or another similar tool to optimize your file.

For example, in Online Gif Tools the skip-frame optimization changes the number of frames in a GIF. You can skip every 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or nth frame starting from any frame.
