Tips about the logo being typed.

Was seeking a 2 px border, but that is not possible with Sirv.com.

GIFs are slow and CPU hungry files to process - it can take 5 to 30 seconds to process GIFs with canvas, text overlays, watermarks and other effects. This puts Sirv's image processing queue at risk of overload because it is designed to return images in 100-200ms only. Therefore, the only processing options available for GIFs are scaling (w and h), cropping (ch, cw, cx, cy) quality and format.However, if you really need to apply any dynamic image setting to a GIF, then there is a way. You can upload a series of JPEG or PNG images with ascending numbers and Sirv will generate a .spin file. Then that .spin file can be served as a GIF, with any image processing options that you wish. Normally this is inconvenient because you need all the frame in a GIF as individual images, but if that's OK for you then that's a good option.
