Klaviyo'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 Klaviyo

Klaviyo's WebP support extends to animated WebP in Apple Mail and Gmail Android, but Outlook desktop still strips animation entirely.

Klaviyo-specific deliverability quirks to know

Klaviyo recommends keeping email weight under 100 KB to avoid Gmail clipping. Their built-in image CDN handles transformations but does not minimize source weight.
