FAQ
What is the maximum size for a GIF to be used in an email?
It’s best to keep the file size under 1MB. The bigger the file size, the slower it will load. Your audience may open the email on their phone or they may have a poor internet connection, so you don’t want them to get frustrated because your design is too large, and it takes too long to load. A little over 1MB is still OK.
How long should an email GIF be?
It should be only a few seconds long. This is because a longer animation means a bigger file size, and therefore a larger load time. Moreover, when your audience reads your email and sees your visual, they will look at it only for a few seconds. Keep it short and sweet, just to the necessary length that allows you to present your essential idea through the GIF.
How do I increase the resolution of an email GIF?
One way to increase the resolution of your file is to go back to the source material and re-export it to the highest-resolution possible. This will work for both images that created your animation and videos made into the file. However, keep in mind that a bigger resolution means a longer upload time, which can affect the way your audience perceives your animation.
