Frequently Asked Questions
How many colors can a GIF have?
GIF supports up to 256 colors per frame from a palette of 16.7 million. Each frame can have its own palette, which is why some animated GIFs appear to have more colors. For photos or gradients, consider using other formats like JPEG or WebP.
What is the maximum file size for Discord custom emojis?
Discord allows custom emojis up to 256KB for static images and animated GIFs. The recommended size is 128×128 pixels for standard emojis. Nitro users can upload larger animated emojis.
How does GIF transparency work?
GIF uses 1-bit transparency, meaning each pixel is either fully transparent or fully opaque - there is no partial transparency. This creates hard edges unlike PNG which supports 8-bit alpha for smooth gradients.
Why are animated GIFs so large in file size?
Animated GIFs store each frame as a complete or partial image. File size increases with dimensions, number of frames, and color complexity. For longer animations, consider video formats like MP4 or WebM which use more efficient compression.
Should I use GIF or video for animations?
Use GIF for short loops under 5-10 seconds with simple graphics. For longer or more complex animations, video formats (MP4, WebM) provide better compression and quality. However, GIF has broader compatibility especially in messaging apps.
