About GIF Compressor

Reduce animated GIF file sizes with this free online GIF compressor. Lower the frame rate and width to shrink your GIF — useful as a GIF compressor to 10mb, to 1mb, or smaller. Works in your browser with no watermark and no sign-up. Everything runs directly in your browser, so your files are never uploaded to a server and stay completely private.

After you upload

Choose how you want to control the result — by quality (frame rate and width), or by an exact target size — then run it.

Options explained

By quality / To a target size
Two ways to compress. 'By quality' lets you set the frame rate and width yourself. 'To a target size' lets you name a size like 256 KB, 512 KB or 1 MB and we step the frame rate and width down until the GIF fits.
Frames per second (fps)
How many frames play each second. Higher fps is smoother but a much bigger file; lower fps keeps it small.
Width (px)
The output width; height follows automatically to keep the proportions. A smaller width is the quickest way to cut file size for chat apps.
Target size (KB)
Name the size you need for Discord, a forum or email. We get as close as possible without going over.
