FAQ

Quick answers

How do emoji animations work?+

Our animations use frame-by-frame GIF generation. Each animation effect applies transformations (rotation, translation, scaling, color effects) across multiple frames. The frames are combined into a looping GIF that plays seamlessly.

Are animations smooth?+

Yes! Our animations are optimized for smooth playback. We generate enough frames per second to create fluid motion. You can adjust animation speed (slow, normal, fast) to control the playback rate.

Do animations loop?+

Yes! All animations loop continuously. The first and last frames are designed to connect seamlessly, creating an infinite loop effect.

Can I control animation speed?+

Yes! Adjust animation speed with three settings: slow, normal, and fast. You can also control direction (left, right, up, down) for rotation and movement effects.
