GIF Compressor: Make Your GIF Smaller
Shrink a GIF by resizing it, dropping frames or using fewer colors. Free, no sign-up, and your file is processed on your device.
Smaller width saves the most. Dropping frames keeps the same playback speed but looks less smooth.

What Makes a GIF Smaller
GIF size depends on pixels, frames and colors. Each setting trims one of them.
Width
Halving the width cuts the pixel count to about a quarter, so this usually saves the most.
Frames
Keeping every 2nd frame roughly halves the frames. Playback speed stays the same, but motion is less smooth.
Colors
GIFs hold up to 256 colors per frame. Fewer colors compress better, with some banding on gradients.
Private
Compression runs in your browser. Your GIF is never uploaded to our servers.
No watermark
