Crop a GIF.

Drag a box over the part you want to keep, or snap it to a social shape. Every frame gets the same crop.

Your GIF shows up here, ready to crop.

Crop box

Drag the box to move it and the corners to resize. Or type exact numbers.

How it works

  1. Add your GIF

    Drop in an animated GIF. The first frame appears with a crop box.

  2. Choose the crop

    Drag the box or pick 1:1, 4:5, 9:16 or 16:9.

  3. Download

    Every frame is cut to the same box, with the timing unchanged.

Good to know. The crop box is placed on the first frame, so check that anything moving stays inside it for the whole animation.

Questions

Which shape should I use for Instagram?

4:5 takes up the most room in the feed, 1:1 is the safe square, and 9:16 suits Stories and Reels.

Does cropping lose quality?

The pixels you keep stay sharp. The GIF is rebuilt, so the colour palette can shift very slightly.

Is my GIF uploaded?

No. It’s read and rebuilt in your browser only.
