Reduce the file size of an animated GIF by lowering the color count and optionally scaling it down. The tool shows a real-time comparison of original and compressed sizes so you know exactly how much space you're saving.
Perfect for staying under email attachment limits, speeding up page loads on your blog, or fitting a GIF into a platform's upload cap. Everything runs in your browser — the file never leaves your device.
The tool reduces the number of colors in each frame's palette. GIFs support up to 256 colors — using fewer means smaller files but slightly less color accuracy.
The animation, timing, and frame count stay the same. Only the color palette is reduced. For most GIFs the difference is barely visible, especially at lower resolutions.
Yes. There's a max-width slider that scales down the GIF dimensions along with the color reduction, which can dramatically reduce file size. For more precise dimension control, use the [GIF Resizer](/gif/resize).
