Make a GIF smaller in file size
Animated GIFs can be surprisingly heavy because every frame is stored as a full image. Optimizing trims that weight so the GIF loads faster and fits upload limits, while keeping it animated.
You have three levers: the colour quality (how many colours each frame uses), frame skipping (keep every other frame for a lighter loop), and the width (fewer pixels per frame). Combine them to hit the size you need.
How to optimize a GIF
- Open your GIF. Drag it onto the tool, or choose a file.
- Tune the settings. Lower the colour quality, drop frames, or reduce the width — the result size updates after you build.
- Make & download. Click Apply & make GIF to download the smaller GIF.
What shrinks a GIF the most
Width has the biggest impact, then frame count, then colours. Start by reducing the width; if it's still too big, drop every other frame, then lower the colour quality until the size fits.

How do I make a GIF smaller?
Reduce the width, keep fewer frames, and lower the colour quality. Width is usually the most effective lever.
Will optimizing hurt the quality?
Some loss is expected when you reduce colours or frames — that's the trade for a smaller file. Adjust the sliders until quality and size both look right.
Does the GIF stay animated?
Yes. Optimizing keeps it animated; frame skipping simply makes the loop lighter.
Where is my image processed?
The GIF is built in your browser, so the new file is created on your own device. How any data associated with the tool is handled is described in our privacy policy.
