Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the compression method. Lossless compression preserves exact original quality but yields smaller file size reductions. Lossy compression removes some color data or frames to achieve much smaller file sizes, which can slightly reduce quality if pushed too far.
Because FastCompressor processes files locally in your web browser, there are no strict server upload limits. However, to prevent browser crashes, we recommend keeping individual GIF files under 50MB.
Lossless GIF compression optimizes the file structure without changing any pixels, keeping the image identical. Lossy GIF compression intentionally discards some visual data—such as reducing the color palette or removing duplicate frames—to dramatically decrease the file size.
