Postmark'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 Postmark

Postmark supports GIFs via external image references. Animation duration and weight are your responsibility.

Postmark-specific deliverability quirks to know

Postmark is transactional-only. Pre-send rule analysis matters because transactional emails are time-critical and a deliverability issue stops user flows immediately.
