What Compress GIF does

Compress GIF reduces animated or still GIF file size by optimizing frames, resizing dimensions, and stripping metadata. Users upload a GIF and can set a target size in kilobytes or megabytes, adjust quality levels, or resize the image to achieve a leaner file that loads faster. The result is a compressed GIF ready for download, suitable for web use where file weight matters.

Questions

Compress GIF FAQ

Does the tool keep my GIF animated after compression?
Yes, the tool re-encodes the GIF while preserving animation, but reducing colour depth and resizing may affect smoothness depending on the settings chosen.
Can I set a specific file size limit for the output?
Yes, you can enter a target file size in KB or MB, and the tool will adjust quality automatically to stay under that limit.
Is my GIF uploaded to the server for processing?
No, everything runs in your browser; files are never sent to or stored on the server, so there is no size cap or queue.
What happens if my GIF is a still image rather than an animation?
The tool notes that still GIFs can often be converted to PNG or WebP for a smaller, better-looking file, as GIFs are limited to 256 colours.
