Use this guide to choose the best GIF settings for your result.

What GIF quality means

GhostViewer offers 3 GIF quality options:

• Low (small file)
  Smallest file size, easiest to share, best default for most posts.
• Medium (balanced)
  Better detail than Low, larger file, good all-round choice.
• High (best quality)
  Best visual quality, largest file size, best when detail matters.

Important: quality also affects playback speed

In the current version, higher GIF quality can play slightly faster than Low.
So quality changes both:

• image detail/file size, and
• timing/speed of the old/new transition.

Recommended starting point

Start with Low for first export, then switch to Medium/High only if:

• text/building detail is too soft, or
• you need higher fidelity for a specific showcase post.

When to use each option

• Use Low when:
  • posting to social quickly
  • mobile data/file size matters
  • you want smoother, slightly slower pacing
• Use Medium when:
  • Low looks too compressed
  • you want a quality-size compromise
• Use High when:
  • image detail is critical
  • you can accept larger files
  • destination platform allows bigger uploads

Tips for better GIF results

• Place matching points across the whole image (not clustered).
• Use fixed landmarks (corners, windows, rooflines), not trees/cars/people.
• Crop/straighten before matching for cleaner transitions.
• If the transition feels jumpy, improve point placement before increasing quality.
• If the GIF is too large, reduce quality first.

Troubleshooting

• “Too fast” feeling:
  Try Low quality (currently the slowest pacing).
• “Too blurry” result:
  Try Medium first, then High if needed.
• “File too big” to upload:
  Use Low, and reduce extra visual complexity where possible.
