FAQ

What's the best GIF width for Slack?

Slack displays GIFs well at up to 360px wide. Going larger doesn't improve display and increases file size.

Does Slack have a file size limit for GIFs?

Slack's upload limit depends on your workspace plan, but keeping GIFs under 5MB ensures smooth playback.
