Free GIF Compressor

A GIF compressor rebuilds an animated GIF with fewer pixels, frames or colors so the file takes less space. This one lets you set each of those values directly and shows the new size in KB, so you decide the trade-off between quality and size.

1. Click Choose files and pick your GIF. 2. Enter a maximum Width (px), Frames per second and Colors. 3. Click Create file. 4. Compare the result’s KB with the original, adjust if needed, then click Download.

No. The file is read from your device and processed by FFmpeg running in the browser tab. Nothing is sent to SocQ, and the working copies are deleted from browser memory after each run.

Yes. There’s no account, no watermark and no daily cap in the tool, so you can rerun the compression as often as you need to reach a target size.

Width usually has the largest effect, because the pixel count falls with the square of the scale. Frames per second comes next, since halving it drops about half the frames. Fewer Colors helps most on flat graphics and least on grainy video.

This can happen when the source is already small or well optimized. Dithering adds fine dot patterns, and a frame rate above the source’s repeats frames. Set Frames per second below the original rate, reduce Width or try fewer Colors.

Aim for under about 10 MB on a free account, keeping in mind that Discord adjusts its caps over time. Start with Width 480–640 px and 10–12 fps, then lower Colors if the file is still too large. Discord’s help center shows the current limit.

Each GIF can be up to 100 MB, 60 seconds long and 4 million pixels per frame. Width accepts 16–1920 px, Frames per second 1–30 and Colors 4–256. One GIF is processed per run.

Some loss is the price of a smaller file. Fewer colors can show dotted dithering or banding, and a lower fps makes motion choppier. Play the result next to the original and keep the smallest version that still looks right.

Yes. The output is an animated GIF set to loop forever, with frames in the same order as the source. If your GIF has a transparent background, check the edges before posting, since a smaller palette can change them.
