Your Flexitive design can be easily exported to major file formats including HTML5, JPG, MP4, and GIF. Our range of export options allows you to choose the format that works best for your design and channel, helping to increase quality, performance and extend the reach of your visual communications. 


GIF exports are perfect when displaying your animated designs in an email or on your website. You can then export the same design in a different format for other channels, such as exporting an MP4 for social media.


Max Size and Length

The maximum size of a GIF export is 2,100,000 pixels. For example, a 300x250 export is 75,000 pixels. (300x250=75000) 


The maximum length of a GIF export is 15 seconds. You can set the length of your GIF in two ways: 

  • Adding an animation sequence - The default length of a GIF export will be the duration of your animation sequence. 
  • Adjust the GIF Length option in the Export Panel - The GIF export length automatically matches the animation sequence, but you can manually change this by adjusting the length in the Export Panel.
