Resize your GIF or JPG to 320 x 480 before uploading it to the AULA L99, so it fills the touchscreen unstretched. Crop to the panel's 2:3 proportions, keep shapes bold and loops short, then test on the board. Evetech sells both L99 colourways.
Load a random GIF onto a small display and the result is usually disappointing: stretched faces, squashed logos, or detail so tiny it turns into mush. The AULA L99's touchscreen is a 320 x 480 panel, and resizing a GIF for a keyboard screen before you upload it is the difference between a sharp little animation and a blurry one. Ten minutes of preparation makes every image you put on the board look deliberate.
Resize your GIF or JPG to exactly 320 x 480 pixels before uploading it to the L99, cropping to the panel's 2:3 shape beforehand so nothing gets stretched. Use bold shapes, strong contrast and short loops, then upload one test image and check how it sits on the 3.98-inch screen before preparing a whole set. Both L99 colourways cost R1,099 from Evetech and come under a 1 Year Local Warranty.
The L99's display is 320 x 480 pixels on a 3.98-inch diagonal, which works out to a 2:3 shape. That is the single most important number for this job: an image already cropped to 2:3 fills the panel cleanly, while a wide 16:9 clip either gets squeezed or cut.
AULA's listing gives the resolution but not which way round the panel is mounted in the board. So before you crop a folder of artwork, make one simple test file, such as an arrow pointing up with the word TOP, upload it, and see how it displays. That tells you whether to prepare your images tall (320 wide by 480 high) or turned on their side, and saves you redoing the whole batch.
Open the image in any editor and crop it to a 2:3 ratio around the part you care about, such as a character's face, a logo or an icon. Crop before you shrink, so you choose what stays rather than letting the software decide.
Now scale the cropped image to exactly 320 x 480 (or 480 x 320 if your test showed the panel sideways). Make sure the "keep proportions" option is on; because you cropped to 2:3 already, the numbers will line up.
Most image editors and many free online GIF tools can resize an animation while keeping all its frames. Check the result plays through properly before uploading.
The L99 accepts GIF animations and JPG images. Use JPG for a still picture and GIF for anything that moves.
At this size, thin lines, small text and busy backgrounds disappear. Pick artwork with large shapes, clear outlines and strong colour contrast. A simple logo or a character on a plain background reads far better than a detailed game screenshot.
Long animations with many frames make larger files and often look choppy on small screens. A short, clean loop of a few seconds, such as a spinning emblem or a blinking eye, is more effective and easier to get right.
The same panel runs the per-key RGB menu, with about 16 million colours and 20 presets. Choosing a GIF whose colours match your lighting gives the whole board one look. Because effects export too, a friend can copy your whole theme.
Upload your single test image, look at it from your normal sitting position and check three things: is it the right way up, is anything cut off, and can you still make out the details? Adjust your template and then prepare the rest.
Remember that a GIF on the panel is a display, not a mode that replaces the screen's tools. The lighting menu, settings, numpad, calculator and mouse simulation are all still there when you need them.

Mismatched sizes get stretched or cut on a 320 x 480 panel. Resizing to fit keeps shapes accurate and edges sharp.
Yes. AULA lists both GIF and JPG, so a static picture works as well as an animation.
No. Most free image editors and online GIF resizers can crop and scale while keeping animation frames.
Yes. Thin lines and small text do not survive on a 3.98-inch screen. Choose bold, simple artwork with strong contrast.
No. The animation is one of several things the panel shows; the lighting, settings and utility modes remain available.
Upload one test image with a clear "top" marker to see how the panel is oriented, then prepare the rest to match.
