01
Keep the loop focused
A single scene can make a strong README preview. Add scenes or screenshots if the story needs them, while keeping motion readable at a small display size.
OPEN-SOURCE MAINTAINERS, DOCUMENTATION WRITERS, AND PRODUCT TEAMS SHARING A FEATURE IN CONTEXT.
A useful product moment, in a tiny loop.
The Minimal Product GIF template is built for a single clear message, a small motion moment, and a loop. Choose output width and frame rate, then export an optimized GIF from the same deterministic composition engine.
Looping GIF
Start with a compact square loop and tune width or frame rate to keep file size under control.

HOW IT WORKS
02
Mind the trade-offs
GIF uses a limited color palette and may be larger than MP4 or WebM. Lower the width or frame rate for documentation and check the resulting file size.
03
Use real frame animation
The export is generated from programmatic frames and encoded by the FFmpeg toolchain — not a static screenshot with a renamed extension.
