    Questions

    How much smaller will my GIF get?

    It depends on the GIF. Light compression usually saves 10 to 40% with no visible change; Medium often halves the size; Strong, with half the size and every other frame, can make it ten times smaller. If a setting would make a GIF larger, the original is kept.

    What does the compression actually change?

    Each frame of a GIF only needs to store what changed since the last one. Light compression treats tiny colour differences as no change, so less is stored; stronger levels also use fewer colours. Shrinking the picture and dropping frames save the most.

    How do I get a GIF under 10 MB (or another limit)?

    Choose Size limit and type the limit, in MB or KB. The tool tries fewer colours first, then a smaller picture, then dropping frames (the animation keeps its speed), and keeps the best quality that fits. If even the smallest version is too big, it says so; trimming the GIF shorter is then the way to go.

    Is there a size limit?

    Up to 200 MB per file on a computer (50 MB on a phone). Every frame is unpacked while the GIF is processed, so very long or very large animations need a lot of memory; those limits keep it working on most devices.

    Are my GIFs uploaded anywhere?

    No. Your GIFs are opened and processed on your device, and the results are saved straight back to it. Nothing is uploaded. How to check.

    Is it free? Do I need an account?

    It is free to use and there is nothing to sign up for. There are no watermarks and no daily limits.
