Issue with gif quality on Giphy

I’ve been using Giphy for a while now and everything was working fine until recently. For some reason, all the gifs I’m getting are really low quality and blurry. They look like compressed versions of what they used to be.

I tried refreshing the page and clearing my browser cache but nothing seems to work. The gifs still look washed out and pixelated. I’m not sure if this is a settings issue on my end or if something changed with Giphy itself.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is there a way to get back to the high quality gifs? I really need the original resolution for my project.

I encountered a similar issue where Giphy’s quality appeared diminished. The platform tends to prioritize lower quality to optimize load times. To resolve this, I utilized their developer API, which restored access to higher quality gifs. Additionally, reviewing your account settings for gif quality options can be helpful. Keep in mind that some older gifs may be irreversibly compressed, so you might want to source them from alternative platforms. This situation seems more prevalent for free accounts, while paid subscriptions tend to retain better quality.
