How do I convert animation frame rate (FPS) to frame delay in milliseconds?

Enter target FPS (e.g. 12 FPS, 24 FPS, 30 FPS, 60 FPS) to calculate exact frame duration in milliseconds and centiseconds for GIF and CSS animation timing.

What is the millisecond frame delay for standard frame rates?

At 60 FPS = 16.67ms per frame; 30 FPS = 33.33ms; 24 FPS = 41.67ms; 20 FPS = 50ms (5cs); 10 FPS = 100ms (10cs); 12 FPS = 83.33ms.

Why do GIFs use centiseconds (hundredths of a second) instead of milliseconds?

The GIF89a graphic control extension specification stores frame delay in integer centiseconds (1/100th of a second), meaning delay values are multiples of 10ms.

What happens if a GIF has a 0ms or 10ms frame delay?

Most browsers enforce a minimum threshold and clamp delays under 20ms (0.02s) to 100ms to prevent CPU overload.

Can I calculate total frames from animation duration and FPS?

Yes. Formula: `Total Frames = Duration in Seconds * FPS`.

Can I export CSS `@keyframes` percentage step increments?

Yes. Calculates exact percentage intervals for CSS frame animations.
