PSD to GIF Converter – Web Animation & Transparency

The GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is essential on the internet for animated images. Despite its 256-color limit, its ability to handle animation and binary transparency makes it a popular choice for banners, memes, and animated icons.

Transforming Layers into Animation

Our tool is especially powerful for animation creators:

  • Image Sequences: If your PSD contains multiple layers representing movement stages, our converter can assemble them into an animated GIF.
  • Photoshop Timeline: Animations created via the "Timeline" window in Photoshop are generally preserved upon export.

Web Optimization

PSD files are often very heavy. converting to GIF gives you a lightweight file ready to integrate into a website or send via email, maintaining the essence of your graphic composition.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Yes! If your PSD file contains an animation timeline or structured layers for animation, our tool will generate an animated GIF. Otherwise, a static GIF will be created from the composite image.

Yes, GIF supports transparency (a pixel is either fully transparent or fully opaque). Semi-transparent effects (soft shadows) will be converted with a dithering effect to adapt to the format.

The GIF format is limited to a 256-color palette. If your PSD contains thousands of shades (like a photograph), color reduction is applied, which may give the image a slightly grainy or "retro" look.
