Frequently asked questions
Which setting reduces size the most?
Reducing the width helps most: at half the width the GIF has about a quarter of the pixels. Then come fewer colors and skipping frames. Combine all three to fit the limits of Discord, WhatsApp or email.
Does skipping frames speed up the animation?
No. The tool adds the time of the removed frames to the ones that remain, so the total length stays the same; the animation just gets a little less smooth.
Is the GIF uploaded to a server?
No. Reading and compressing happen in your browser.
Is it really free?
Yes, 100% free. No sign-up, no subscription and no usage limits. All Tools123 are free.
