## Set Dimensions

By default, GIF dimensions match the first frame. You can override **width** and **height** manually.

## Set Scale

Use the **scale** dropdown to export at scaled sizes (for example `@2x` or `@0.5x`).

## Choose Image Fit

Choose between:

- **Cover Images**
- **Contain Images** (default)

## Set Background Color

Set a solid background using a HEX color value.

> **Tip:** If your input frames include transparency, enable **Transparent Background** when you need a transparent GIF.

## Configure Compression and Quality

Use the quality slider (`1-100`) to control lossy compression.

> **Note:** Enable **Lossless** if you want GIF compression without quality loss.

## Configure Global Color Palette

Enable **All frames have the same color palette** to reuse frame-one palette across all frames.

> **Warning:** Use this only when needed for artifact/banding fixes. It can cause color issues when later frames use colors not present in the first frame.

## Choose Image Dithering

Choose a dithering algorithm from the **Image Dithering** dropdown.
