Hi all,

So this my first time working with gif, have not tried it before as I have no reason for it.

Working on a project and required that I created custom pre-loader gif image for mobile app. I look around all web and resources, I created something awesome to use but it came back as jagged and pixelated not usable for the project.

Please what is the best size to create a gif on and export for use in mobile app development, without all the jagged edges on a transparent background.. I created a couple on different layer sizes to the point of 100x100px... Please I'll appreciate solution to this.

The one you did on black background looks good, compared to the one on right, because of  aliasing.  If you still want a transparent background then set a matte color.

Will not look good if you preview this i0ver a background color different than your matte selection,  so don't panic, but will look as good as your example on left if the matte color is close to or matches the background color.

Also google svg animations.
