Detailed User Guide
Resize and optimize animated GIFs
Change the width and quality to shrink a GIF for sharing, or keep it large and high-quality for archival use.
Quality vs file size trade-off
Lower quality produces a smaller file but more color banding. Choose the setting that fits whether the GIF is for chat or for a presentation.
APNG option for lossless quality
Switching to APNG (Animated PNG) preserves quality better than GIF and supports more colors, at the cost of a larger file and slightly narrower compatibility.
Processed locally in the browser
Editing happens in your browser, so your animation never uploads to a server.
Preview before downloading
Check the animation looks right and the size is acceptable before saving.
GIF is capped at 256 colors
Unlike video, a GIF can only hold 256 colors per frame, which is why gradients and photos often show banding. If your source has smooth color transitions, either accept the dithering or switch to the APNG option, which keeps full color at the cost of a larger file. For flat illustrations and simple logos, plain GIF is usually the smaller and more compatible choice.
