Compress GIF makes animated GIFs lighter so they load faster and fit upload limits on WhatsApp, Discord, email and websites. Choose Light, Recommended or Strong — the tool reduces colours, removes every second frame (keeping the same total length) and can shrink the size.
How to compress a GIF
- Click "Choose GIF file" and select your animated GIF.
- Choose Light, Recommended or Strong compression.
- Click "Compress GIF" and compare the new size.
- Download the smaller GIF, or try another level.

Frequently asked questions
How much smaller will my GIF be?
It depends on the GIF. Recommended often saves 30–60%. Strong saves the most by also making the GIF 30% smaller in pixels.
Will the animation be slower?
No. When frames are removed, the remaining frames are shown longer, so the total length stays the same.
What if the GIF does not get smaller?
Some GIFs are already well optimised. Try Strong, or use Resize GIF to reduce the width.
Is it really free? Do you add a watermark?
Yes, it is completely free with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limits. The site is supported by a few non-intrusive ads.
