What is 15 FPS?

15 FPS means your screen shows 15 pictures every second, just like a flipbook.

Imagine you're watching a cartoon on a tiny TV. Every time the picture changes, it's like turning the page of a book. If the TV shows only 15 pages each second, that’s not very smooth, it might look a little jumpy or like it’s moving in steps.

Think about flipping through a flipbook with just 15 pages. You start flipping, and you see the picture change every time you turn a page. But because there aren’t that many pages, the motion looks slower and less smooth compared to a flipbook with more pages.

If your favorite video game runs at 15 FPS, it’s like playing with a friend who only moves once every few seconds, you can still tell what's happening, but it feels a little slow or bumpy. That’s why faster is usually better!
