As a little known quirk of history:

    a statement that the GIF image file format is limited to 256 colors is simply false.

How is pretty sneaky.



Wow, that’s fascinating. I have a tiny macOS app that makes GIFs that I use for screen recordings, it has occurred to me before now that it produces surprisingly good quality images with no visible dithering, I wonder if it’s doing this.

(still feels very stupid to have to do it but until Google Docs lets you embed a silent auto playing mp4…)
