Submit files to /v1/convert, poll the job endpoint, then download outputs programmatically.
Converting BAY to GIF decodes the source image and writes a GIF output. Use this route when GIF is a better fit for compatibility, file size, editing, or delivery.
GIF is palette-based. Photos and gradients may show banding, dithering, or color loss.
Convert GIF to WebP, APNG, or video formats for smaller animation delivery. Convert GIF frames to PNG when you need still-frame extraction.
Universal viewing support; inefficient for modern animation delivery.
