Try HTML5 video instead. GIFs are archaic, low quality, and missing on features.<p>MediaCrush converts GIFs to video, and will host straight video files. It&#x27;s open source, you might gain something from browsing the code.<p><a href="https://mediacru.sh" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mediacru.sh</a><p><a href="https://github.com/MediaCrush/MediaCrush" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;MediaCrush&#x2F;MediaCrush</a>

I wasted more than 3 hours to create a animation on how to use the web app that I was working on. recorded my screeen using Simgle Screen Resorder [1] .<p>Converted the recorded video into several images using avconv [2] something like this<p><pre><code> avconv -i 00:00 1.mkv -t 15 op&#x2F;frame_%03d.jpg </code></pre> Create a gif using ImageMagick Convert Command-Line Tool [3]<p><pre><code> convert -resize 427x240 op&#x2F;frame_*.jpg op.gif </code></pre> Result is 20 mb GIF image.. I had to reduce the frames and some other parameters to reduce the size.<p>I feel HTML5 video is a better alternative, but I still need a gif.<p>[1] <a href="http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/12/simple-screen-recorder-linux" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.omgubuntu.co.uk&#x2F;2013&#x2F;12&#x2F;simple-screen-recorder-li...</a><p>[2] <a href="https://libav.org/avconv.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;libav.org&#x2F;avconv.html</a><p>[3] <a href="http://www.imagemagick.org/script/convert.php" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.imagemagick.org&#x2F;script&#x2F;convert.php</a>

Hi there. I have found this quite useful. Was just wondering if there was a reason why there is no more than 5 images supported? The webapp says it is getting 6 files but it doesn&#x27;t display any when I select 6 images, 5 seems to be the max.

The images you&#x27;re displaying on the homepage are downscaled by the browser and look horrible. You see this most in small lines, e.g. the carrier name. You should generally not be producing a single high-resolution GIF but instead a suite of appropriately scaled and resampled images.

Any plans to support Android devices?
