Resize GIF
Drop a GIF and it opens at half size, ready to adjust: slide the scale from 10% to 100%, or switch to Width and type an exact pixel width (or tap 240, 320, 480, 640, 720 or 1080). The height follows, so nothing gets stretched, and every frame keeps its timing and transparency. Resizing is the most reliable way to make a GIF smaller, and you see the new size before you download. Nothing is uploaded.

Drop a GIF here
or click to browse — one animated GIF, WebP or AVIF · or paste
Processed on your device. Nothing is uploaded.
How it works
- 1. Drop, paste or pick an animated GIF (or animated WebP or AVIF) up to 100 MB. It's decoded in your browser with every frame's own timing; nothing is uploaded.
- 2. Under Size, set a percentage from 10% to 100%, or choose Width and enter the pixel width you need; the height keeps the original proportions.
- 3. Open Export, keep GIF or switch to WebP, MP4 or AVIF, optionally set a size limit to fit, then download. The before/after view shows the original next to the result.
Recommended settings
| Use case | Settings | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Chat and forums | Width 480 px | Big enough to read on a phone, small enough to stay well under most upload limits. |
| Emoji and stickers | Crop 1:1, width 128 px | Emoji are shown tiny, so extra pixels only add bytes. Use Discord Emoji GIF to also fit 256 KB. |
| Halve the file quickly | Percent 50% | Half the width and height is a quarter of the pixels in every frame. |

| WebP | Usually much smaller than GIF | Full colour + alpha | <img> | All modern browsers |
| AVIF | Usually smallest of the image formats | Full colour (alpha in the format; not written by this tool) | <img> | Current Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari |
| MP4 | Usually smallest overall | Full colour, no alpha | <video> | Everywhere, but not where only images are allowed |

Questions about Resize GIF
- How do I resize a GIF without losing its animation?
- Drop it in and set a percentage or a width under Size. Every frame is resized the same way and keeps its own delay, so the GIF animates exactly as before.
- Will resizing make my GIF smaller in file size?
- Yes, usually a lot: file size follows the number of pixels, and halving the width and height leaves a quarter of the pixels. If you need to hit a specific limit, use Fit a size in the Export tab, or the GIF Compressor.
- Can I make a GIF bigger?
- Choose Width and type a larger number (up to 3840 px). Enlarging can't add detail, so the GIF will look softer; it's mainly useful when a site needs a minimum size.
- Does it keep the aspect ratio?
- Yes. The height is always worked out from the width, so the GIF is never stretched. To change the shape, crop it to 1:1, 16:9, 9:16 or 4:3 first.
- Is my GIF uploaded anywhere?
- No. The GIF is decoded, edited and re-encoded by background workers in your browser tab. Nothing is sent to a server, there is no signup and no watermark, and it keeps working if you go offline after the page loads.
- How big a GIF can I edit?
- Files up to 100 MB are accepted and every frame keeps its own timing. Only an extremely long, large GIF can run past what your device can hold in memory; then the editor keeps as many frames as fit and tells you so.
- Can I save the result as MP4 or WebP instead of GIF?
- Yes. The Export tab offers GIF, animated WebP, MP4 and AVIF from the same edit, with an estimated size for each, so you can pick the smallest one your destination accepts.
Resize, compress or crop?
Resizing changes the dimensions and keeps the whole picture. Compressing keeps the dimensions and stores the pixels more cheaply (lossy compression, fewer colours). Cropping removes the edges. When a GIF is too big for an upload limit, resizing is usually the change people notice least, especially when the GIF is shown smaller than its real size anyway.
If you only care about the file size, not the exact dimensions, the GIF Compressor's Fit a size option tries the mildest changes first and tells you what it changed.
Picking a width
Match the width to where the GIF is shown. A GIF in a chat or a README is rarely shown wider than 480 to 640 px; a slide or blog post may use 720 to 1080 px. Anything wider than its display size just costs bytes. For sharp results on high-density screens, export at about twice the display width only when the file size allows it.
Private by design
Framimo converts your files inside your browser tab, so your GIF is never sent to a server for this GIF export. There is no signup and no watermark, and you can disconnect from the internet once the page has loaded.
