GIF file size

GIF (Graphic Interchange Format) is a very old standard format with poor compression. It is widely used to display small animated icons but not large images with a lengthy animation.
For example a 10 seconds 640x480 GIF file played at 25 frames/second will have a size of around 50 MBytes!!!

Therefore, it is necessary to find the best compromise between GIF dimension, animation duration and frames per second to get an acceptable GIF file size.
The GIF converter displays a rough estimate of the GIF file size. Note that this is a very rough estimate based on average images. Actual sizes may be much lower for graphic images and higher for photos with many details.
