Your file never leaves your device. Processed locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

Re-encodes a GIF up to 12 seconds in this tab. The palette, frame rate and pixel size are what change. A video belongs on Compress video.

Drop a short GIF and download a smaller one. You can keep the pixel size and use fewer colours, shrink the width to 75 percent, or cut it in half at 10 frames per second. Nothing is uploaded.

Shrink a short GIF without leaving the tab

Compress GIF re-encodes with FFmpeg. Fewer colours keeps the pixel size. The 75 percent level scales the frame. Half size also keeps about 10 frames a second. The download is still a GIF.

Three honest levels

64 colours at the same size, 128 colours at three quarters of the width, or 64 colours at half size and 10 fps. A video is refused.

Frames, not a video file

GIF to MP4 and GIF to WebP leave this format. GIF speed only changes playback. This page rebuilds the palette and, on two levels, the pixels.

How to compress a GIF

  1. MP4 belongs on Compress video. This page checks the GIF type.

  2. Start with fewer colours if the motion should keep its size.

  3. Choose 75 percent or half size when the first file is still heavy.

  4. Press “Compress GIF”. A long animation stops at the time shown on the page.

A smaller GIF from the same frames

  • Still a GIF

    The download keeps the GIF type.

  • Palette first

    Fewer colours is the lightest change.

  • Size you can see

    75 percent and half size change the width.

  • FFmpeg in the tab

    The engine loads once and stays cached.

  • Not uploaded

    The animation stays on the device.

  • Short clips

    Re-encoding every frame has a time ceiling for everyone.

Questions about compressing a GIF

Will every GIF shrink?

A tiny palette may not. Try 75 percent or half size.

Does half size speed the motion up?

It drops frames toward 10 per second. GIF speed is the other page.

Can I drop an MP4?

No. Compress video is that page. This one saves a GIF.

Is 10 fps always on?

Only on half size. The other levels keep the frame timing and change colours or scale.

Is there a paid limit?

No. The seconds on the page are a browser ceiling.

Does the file leave the device?

No. FFmpeg runs in this tab.
