    The compression usually happens before it is saved as a gif. It can use 8-bit colours, but it takes up less space if you use fewer.

        Yep, I think so, I haven’t looked at the standard, just assuming from the gif save dialog in photoshop.

  That’s pretty clever, would have been ideal for a 20 year old feature phone.
