About Compress GIF
Make a GIF animation lighter by reducing frame dimensions, frame rate and palette size. Look for changes in motion and color before using it on a website. An output that does not save bytes is replaced by the original GIF.
Compress GIF runs locally without uploading your selected file or requiring an account. Although file selection allows up to 1 GB, available device memory can limit this particular task.

Common questions
Will Compress GIF return a file larger than my original?
No. If compression cannot make a smaller file, the original is returned instead. Already efficient files may not shrink. Review the Compress GIF result before using it.
How does Compress GIF affect animation?
The browser path reduces frame rate, frame dimensions and palette size. Motion and colors may look different, so preview the animation. Review the Compress GIF result before using it.
Why can the first Compress GIF attempt take longer?
The browser downloads the audio and video engine at first use. Later attempts can reuse it, but long clips and slower devices still need processing time. Review the Compress GIF result before using it.
Does Compress GIF upload my file for processing?
Your selected file stays on this device while Compress GIF runs. There is no file upload for this operation, although its memory demands can still exceed a phone or computer's available resources.
