GIF Optimizer

Drop images here, or click to select

Add images in animation order.

Optimize one existing animated GIF by reducing its dimensions, frame density, or color palette. Each setting trades file size against motion smoothness or visual detail, so the smallest result is not always the best-looking result.

Start with one change at a time and inspect the generated preview. Leaving width at 0 and choosing Keep original timing preserves those source settings while still allowing palette, dithering, and loop changes.

How to optimize a GIF online

  1. Select one animated GIF and wait for its dimensions to appear.
  2. Reduce the output width or choose a lower frame rate when the animation can use fewer pixels or frames.
  3. Choose the maximum color count, dithering, and loop behavior for the result.
  4. Optimize the GIF, compare the preview and file size, then download the result if the tradeoff looks right.

GIF Optimizer FAQ

Which settings usually reduce GIF file size the most?

Reducing pixel width and frame rate often produces the largest savings because fewer pixels and frames must be stored. Lowering the color count can reduce size further, but the best combination depends on the animation.

How many colors should I use?

Start with 128 colors. Flat graphics and simple screen recordings may look good with fewer colors, while photos and gradients may need more. Use the preview to check banding and lost detail.

What does GIF dithering change?

Dithering mixes palette colors into patterns to make gradients look smoother. It can also add visible grain or reduce compression efficiency. None is often suitable for flat graphics with clean color areas.

Should I keep the original timing or choose a frame rate?

Keep original timing preserves the source frame delays. Choosing a fixed frame rate samples the animation at regular intervals, which may add or remove frames and change how smooth the motion looks.

Will GIF transparency be preserved?

The optimizer keeps a transparent palette entry when the source uses transparency, but resizing, color reduction, and dithering can change the appearance of transparent edges. Check the preview before downloading.
