Limitaciones
GIF Limitaciones
- Limited to 256 colors per frame — looks posterized on photographs.
- Dithering for color-rich images makes files huge (often 10× an MP4 equivalent).
- No audio track.
- Transparency is 1-bit (on/off) — no smooth alpha blending.
- Poor compression compared to modern formats (WebP, MP4, AVIF).
ODP Limitaciones
