Change the GIF Settings
A new window will open up. In the Preset drop-down menu, select GIF. If you have a GIF with gradients, choose Dithered GIF to prevent color banding. If your image employs a lot of solid colors, you may choose the No Dither option. The number next to the GIF file determines how large and precise the GF colors will be compared to the original JPEGs. A higher dithering percentage translates to the appearance of more colors and detail, but it increases the file size.
Export GIF
You can then select Save to file at the bottom, and you’re done.
