Slack GIF Creator

A toolkit providing utilities and knowledge for creating animated GIFs optimized for Slack.

Slack Requirements

Dimensions:

• Emoji GIFs: 128x128 (recommended)
• Message GIFs: 480x480

Parameters:

• FPS: 10-30 (lower is smaller file size)
• Colors: 48-128 (fewer = smaller file size)
• Duration: Keep under 3 seconds for emoji GIFs

Core Workflow

from core.gif_builder import GIFBuilder
from PIL import Image, ImageDraw

# 1. Create builder
builder = GIFBuilder(width=128, height=128, fps=10)

# 2. Generate frames
for i in range(12):
    frame = Image.new('RGB', (128, 128), (240, 248, 255))
    draw = ImageDraw.Draw(frame)

    # Draw your animation using PIL primitives
    # (circles, polygons, lines, etc.)

    builder.add_frame(frame)

# 3. Save with optimization
builder.save('output.gif', num_colors=48, optimize_for_emoji=True)
