MailerLite'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 MailerLite

MailerLite supports GIF upload but their previewer shows static first frame only. Test animation behavior in real clients before sending.
