GIF resizer: what this tool does
Resize an animated GIF for a chat message, a product walkthrough or an embed without uploading it. Enter pixel dimensions or use a percentage of the original size. The aspect lock keeps the image from stretching, while the live preview helps you judge the result before exporting.
How to use GIF resizer
- Choose an animated GIF from your device. Its canvas size, frame count and duration appear beside the preview.
- Enter a width or percentage. Keep the aspect lock enabled for proportional resizing and choose how pixels are sampled.
- Check the sample-based file-size estimate, export, then compare the actual download with your original.
Quality, timing and file size
Nearest neighbor keeps hard pixel-art edges and can look blocky on photographs. Smooth scaling blends neighboring pixels and is usually a better starting point for screenshots and camera footage. Enlarging a GIF cannot restore detail that was absent from the source. A smaller canvas often reduces bytes, but palette choices and the animation itself also affect the result.
Processing happens in a browser worker, and your files are not uploaded. Start with a short animation on mobile. The tool checks file size, frame count and decoded pixels before editing; large or damaged files receive an error with a way to retry. You can cancel a running export and keep your source selection. The preview is an editing aid; download and inspect the result in its final destination because players can handle very short frame delays differently.
Frequently asked questions
Will resizing keep the GIF animated?
Yes. The tool composites the source frames and re-encodes the full animation, including its timing. It does not silently turn an animated GIF into a still picture.
Can I set an exact width and height?
Yes. Enter either dimension with the aspect lock enabled, or disable it to set both dimensions independently. Distortion is visible in the preview.
Is the size estimate exact?
No. It encodes a small sample and extrapolates the result. The final size is shown after export; difficult or varied frames can make it differ from the estimate.
Can I use this on my phone?
Yes, in a current browser with local canvas and worker support. Mobile budgets are lower to protect memory. Choose shorter, smaller animations, and use a desktop for a larger sequence.
Does this tool upload my files?
No. Image decoding and export run on your device. This website uses analytics for page visits and tool events, but filenames, source pixels and generated frames are not sent as analytics events.
