How to use it
- Drop the GIF you want to compress.
- Pick the compression strength and the maximum number of colors.
- Press Convert, compare the size and download.
Why use it
The compressor uses Gifsicle's lossy LZW compression, which removes detail the eye hardly notices. Balanced mode often cuts the size by 30–60%.
If the file is still too large, resize it to a smaller width or shorten it. Those two steps have the biggest effect on GIF size.
Frequently asked questions
How much smaller will my GIF be?
It depends on the content. Videos converted to GIF usually shrink by 30–70%; simple graphics shrink less.
What is the Discord GIF size limit?
Emojis must be under 256 KB and stickers under 512 KB. Regular uploads have a larger limit that depends on your plan.
Does compression change the animation speed?
No. Frame timing and the number of frames stay the same.
