Frequently asked questions
How do I reduce the size of a GIF?▾
Upload the GIF, pick fewer colors (64 or 128 work well), a smaller size such as 75% or 50% and press Compress GIF. The new file size and the percentage saved appear right away.
Does compressing a GIF lower its quality?▾
Fewer colors and a smaller size can make it look slightly less sharp, which you can check in the side-by-side preview. Skipping unchanged pixels between frames saves space without any visible change.
How do I make a GIF smaller for Discord, Slack or email?▾
Start with 128 colors at 100%. If the file is still too big, choose 75% or 50% size or keep every 2nd frame. The animation keeps the same speed.
Will my GIF still be animated and keep its transparency?▾
Yes. All frames, the timing, the loop setting and transparent backgrounds are kept. Dropping frames is optional.
Is my GIF uploaded to a server?▾
No. The GIF is compressed on your device in the browser, so your file never leaves your computer or phone. It is free with no watermark and no signup.
