GustKit runs the FFmpeg crop filter on every frame. The center option keeps a square from the shorter side. A half keeps that side and drops the other. Width and height change. The frame order stays the same.

A smaller picture, the same animation

Crop video makes an MP4. Rotate GIF turns the whole frame and keeps every pixel. This page throws away the part you did not pick and the download is still a GIF. GIF to MP4 is the page that leaves the GIF format.

The GIF stays in this tab

How to check the cropped GIF

1. Play the download once from the start. 2. The part you kept should fill the frame. 3. If the subject sits on the other side, run again and pick that half.

Rotate GIF turns the whole picture. Crop video saves MP4. This page keeps a GIF and drops the side you did not pick. Nothing is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

The download is smaller and still a GIF. Did it work?

Yes. Crop changes the width or the height. The file type stays GIF and the frames stay in order.

Why is the center a square?

The center option uses the shorter side, so a wide GIF becomes a square from the middle. Pick a half when you want a rectangle.

Can I crop a GIF and also rotate it in one step?

No. Crop it first, or rotate it first, then open the other page on the download.

Is the GIF uploaded?

No. FFmpeg runs in this tab.

The GIF is narrower and the animation still plays. Did it work?

Yes. A left or right half changes the width. The frames stay in the same order.

Can I crop a GIF and also change its speed in one step?

No. Crop it first, or change the speed first, then open the other page on the download.
