### Output File Types

Supported formats:

* Gif images

### Additional information

#### Output customisation

In addition to the supported image properties, a `gif` property can be set to customise the output gif. Here is the available option:

#### Frame Rate Configuration FPS (Frames Per Second)

* Property name : `fps`
* Default: 9 fps
* Range: 2-9 fps

#### Repeat 

{% hint style="info" %}
Duplicate frame removal generates a lighter file without compromising visual quality. This optimization technique reduces file size by eliminating redundant image data while preserving the GIF visual integrity.
{% endhint %}

* Property name : `repeat`
* Default: -1  The GIF will repeat **indefinitely.**
* Value `0`: Play only once. 
* Value of `1`: Play twice. And so on.

Configuration Example:

```json
"gif": {
 "fps": 8,
 "repeat": 3
}
```
