Kit (ConvertKit)'s built-in tools cover the basics, but the GIF compressor workflow often benefits from a dedicated, browser-only preprocessor before uploading. Animated GIFs are deliverability-fragile — large GIFs trigger spam filters and slow render times. Pre-compression with gifsicle's lossy presets cuts GIF weight 40-70% without visible quality loss.

Why pre-process before uploading to Kit (ConvertKit)

Kit supports animated GIFs in broadcast campaigns. The platform recommends sub-1 MB GIFs to keep total email weight under deliverability thresholds.
