Frequently asked

Why do my photos look posterized? +

GIF only supports 256 colors per frame. Photos use millions, so banding and color shifts are unavoidable when you downsample. That's a limit of the format.

Can I make an animated GIF here? +

Not yet. Each output is a single still frame. For multi-frame GIFs, use a dedicated animator.
