Lower quality reduces the color palette shared across every frame — most simple animations and graphics still look great with far fewer colors. Frame count, timing, and looping are always preserved.
About This Tool
GIFs get big fast, especially animated ones, because most
exporters use far more colors than the image actually needs. This
tool rebuilds the color palette shared across every frame of your
GIF — animated or static — for a real size cut, while keeping
frame count, timing, disposal, and looping exactly as they were.
Drop your file in and compression starts immediately, entirely in
your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this tool free to use?
Yes, completely free, with no sign-up and no limit on how many files you compress.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Every file is processed locally in your own browser and never leaves your device.
Will my animation still play the same way?
Yes — frame count, frame timing, disposal method, and
looping are all preserved exactly. Only the color palette
used across the frames is reduced, which is where the size
savings come from.
What does the quality slider actually control?
It sets how many colors are kept in the palette shared
across every frame — up to 256 at the highest setting, down
to as few as 16 at the lowest. Simple graphics and icons
often look identical with far fewer colors; detailed,
photo-like GIFs will show more visible banding as you lower
it.
Does this work with transparent GIFs?
Yes — transparency is preserved correctly on every frame, not just the first one.
What if my GIF doesn’t get any smaller?
Some GIFs are already using a small, efficient palette. If
recompressing wouldn’t actually reduce the file size, the
tool keeps your original file rather than replacing it with
a larger one.
