Why Compress GIF?
GIFs can be huge—especially animated ones. They use an outdated compression method and can easily balloon to 5-20MB for even short animations.
Our compressor reduces colors (GIF is limited to 256 colors anyway), optimizes the color palette, and applies better compression to each frame. For animated GIFs, we also optimize inter-frame compression.
For maximum size reduction with animated content, consider converting to WebP or MP4 video instead—they're dramatically more efficient.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. All frames, timing, and looping settings are preserved. Only the color palette and compression are optimized.
GIF format is from 1987 and uses inefficient compression. Each frame is stored separately without modern video compression techniques. Consider WebP for animated images—it's much more efficient.
For web use, yes—animated WebP is 25-50% smaller. GIF is only necessary when you need maximum compatibility with older systems.
