Frequently Asked Questions

What is a GIF?

A GIF, or Graphics Interchange Format, is a type of image file format that supports both static and animated images. Here are some key features:

  • Animation: GIFs can contain multiple images in one file, allowing them to play in a loop like a short video or animation.
  • Color Depth: GIFs use a palette of up to 256 colors, making them less suited for complex images but excellent for simple graphics and animations.
  • Compression: GIFs utilize lossless compression, which means they maintain image quality while reducing file size.

GIFs are commonly used on social media, websites, and messaging platforms to convey emotions, reactions, or humor through animated content.

How are GIFs created?

Creating GIFs can be done using various methods, ranging from software applications to online tools. We recommend using the Filestack Processing Engine in converting images such as JPGs to GIF. Follow these steps:

  1. Upload the JPG Images: First, upload your JPG images using Filestack’s Upload API or File Picker tool. This will give you a Filestack handle for these files.
  2. Apply the Conversion Task: Use the Filestack Transform API to convert the JPG image to a GIF. You can do this by utilizing the “animate” task

The Filestack Transform API allows you to customize the GIF image by defining additional parameters such as the delay between frames, the number of times the images should loop, the output dimensions, and more.

What are the limitations of the JPG to GIF conversion using Filestack Processing API?

Filestack has some limitations when it comes to convert JPG images to GIF using the Filestack processing API. These Limitations are:

NAME VALUE
Maximum file size of single image 256 MB
Maximum width of single image 1800 px
Maximum height of single image 1800 px
 

How can I specify the number of times images are displayed when converting JPGs to GIF?

Filestack’s image transformation API allows users to specify the number of times a JPG image loops when converting to GIF. This is done by adding the “loop” parameter to the “animate” conversion task. The “loop” parameter is an integer, defaulting to 0, which means the images will loop indefinitely.
