Frequently Asked Questions

What is a GIF?

A GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is an image file format that supports both static and animated images. GIFs use lossless compression, meaning they retain quality without increasing file size. They display short, looping animations commonly used on social media and websites for visual communication.

How to convert PNG images to GIF using Filestack Processing Engine?

Convert PNG images to GIF using Filestack Processing Engine by applying the animate parameter in the URL. Upload the PNG files, then transform them like this:
https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/animate=width:200,height:300/[HANDLE1,HANDLE2,HANDLE3,HANDLE4,HANDLE5].
This command converts the PNGs to GIF instantly on Filestack’s CDN.

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.
