- Flatten transparency first: BIK has no alpha channel, so composite GIF over a background color.
Limits
Starting point: GIF - 256-color animation with 1-bit transparency. Limited to 256 colors per frame, so gradients may band. Game-rip headers can confuse players; remuxing usually repairs them. Set the quality slider near 80-90 for BIK photos from GIF, and keep dimensions matched to the source.
