Cut a GIF’s file size with fewer colours, fewer frames or a smaller size. You’ll see exactly how much you saved.
Lossy compression lets near-identical pixels carry over from the previous frame. Dropping frames keeps the same overall speed.
Drop in an animated GIF. We read every frame in your browser.
Fewer colours, fewer frames, a smaller size, or lossy frame matching.
See the before and after size, then keep whichever is smaller.
Good to know. GIFs that were already optimised by a dedicated tool may not get any smaller, and occasionally come out bigger. When that happens we tell you, so you can keep your original. GIFs with transparent areas skip the frame-to-frame trick.
It depends on the GIF. Screen recordings and graphics often shrink a lot. Busy, grainy video clips shrink less. Halving the size usually cuts the file by 60 to 75%.
Fewer colours can add banding, and lossy mode can leave faint trails on moving edges. Start with 128 colours and Light, then go further if it still looks good.
Then the original was already well made. Keep it. We show the comparison so you never swap a good file for a worse one.
