Compress an Animated GIF Online

Reduce a GIF file size with lossless or lossy optimization. Compare the actual before and after sizes and preview both animations before you download.

Choose an animated GIF to begin.

Check the measured result

GIFs can store repeated frames and unused palette data that lossless optimization may remove. Lossy settings can save more by changing some pixel values. The amount depends on the source, so this compressor reports measured output bytes rather than promising a fixed percentage.

Use the Light preset first when exact pixels matter. If the output is not smaller, compare the Smaller file preset and inspect transparent edges and frame-to-frame motion.

Prepare a transparent animation

A GIF with a large solid background may compress poorly. If your animation has a flat color backdrop, remove it with the GIF background remover before comparing file size.

For a game import that needs frame coordinates and timing, use the GIF to sprite sheet converter.
