About this tool
Make a GIF smaller by keeping only one frame in every two, three or more, or by removing frames that look almost the same as the previous one.
The remaining frames are shown longer so the animation lasts as long as before. The grid shows which frames are kept.
- Works on your device. Nothing is uploaded.
- Free, with no sign-up and no watermark.
- No limits on file count or size beyond what your device can handle.
Questions and answers
How much smaller will the GIF get?
Keeping every second frame usually cuts the size by 30–50%. Removing similar frames helps most on GIFs with pauses or slow movement.
Will the animation look choppy?
Fast motion gets a little less smooth when you remove frames. Try the similar frames option first; it removes frames where little happens.
