How to use this tool

  1. Choose an animated or still GIF.
  2. Set a maximum dimension and color count.
  3. Keep all frames first, or reduce frames for a smaller file.
  4. Compress locally, compare the result and download the GIF.

Supported input and output

Animated or still GIF input and GIF output. The download keeps the original filename.

Large-file guidance

Available memory depends on your device and browser. Close other tabs before processing a large document, keep the device awake, and test the downloaded result before deleting the original.

Known limitations

  • Reducing colors can create banding in gradients and photographs.
  • Frame reduction can make fast motion less smooth.
  • GIF decoding expands every selected frame into pixels, so long or high-resolution animations can use much more memory than the file size suggests.
  • Some already optimized GIFs may become larger after re-encoding.

Frequently asked questions

How do I compress a GIF without losing animation?

Reduce dimensions and colors first while keeping every frame. Remove every second or third frame only when the preview motion remains acceptable.

Does this GIF compressor upload my animation?

No. Decoding, resizing, color reduction and encoding run inside this browser. The GIF is not sent to a file-processing API.

Why is my compressed GIF still large?

Long duration, large dimensions, many frames, photographic detail and high color counts all increase GIF size. Try a smaller dimension or consider animated WebP or video when GIF compatibility is not required.
