GIF compressor Free
Drop a GIF, pick a size limit, and it shrinks to fit — right in your browser, nothing is uploaded. Free.
This browser can't open this video
iPhone (HEVC) videos usually open in Chrome, Edge and Safari. If not, try OtterGIF, our Windows app — it opens phone and camera videos (H.264, HEVC, ProRes) and corrects HDR colors.
See the OtterGIF appHow to make a GIF smaller
- Drop a GIF in, or click to choose one.
- Pick the size limit (1, 2, 5, 10 or 20 MB). You can also lower size, smoothness or colors yourself, and trim the start or end.
- Press "Shrink GIF" and save the result.
What it can do
Transparency kept
GIFs with a see-through background (stickers, emoji) stay see-through.
Edit while you shrink
Trim, change speed, rotate or blur a spot with a mosaic — all in the same step.
Fits the limit
Pick a limit and it lowers colors, smoothness and size until the GIF fits.
Fewer colors
Going from 256 to 128, 64 or 32 colors saves space; simple, flat GIFs barely change.

Is my GIF uploaded?
No. The GIF is read and rebuilt only inside this browser. This page never sends it anywhere.
How much smaller will it get?
It depends on the GIF. Simple GIFs with little motion shrink a lot; GIFs that are already well compressed need a smaller size or fewer frames. You are told if the result is not smaller than the original.
Do transparent GIFs work?
Yes — see-through areas stay see-through. Soft, half-transparent edges become either fully clear or solid, because GIF has no partial transparency.
Can it fit a chat or forum upload limit?
Pick a size limit at or below the limit of the service. If the GIF is bigger, it lowers colors, smoothness and size and tries again until it fits.
