Free GIF Cropper

A GIF cropper cuts away the parts of an animation you don’t need and keeps one rectangle from every frame. The result is a smaller frame that still plays, which is useful for removing borders, focusing on a subject or making a square.

1. Click Choose files and pick your GIF. 2. Drag a box on the GIF over the part you want to keep. 3. For exact values, enter Area width, Area height and the two position fields (%). 4. Click Create file, check the loop and click Download.

Yes. The same rectangle is cut from each frame at the same position. It doesn’t follow moving objects, so choose an area big enough to hold the motion for the whole loop.

Divide the GIF’s height by its width to get the Area width percentage, and set Area height to 100%. For a 16:9 GIF that’s 56.25%. Then set Horizontal position to 21.88% to center the square, or lower or raise it to slide left or right.

No. Cropping happens inside your browser tab with FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. The GIF stays on your device, and SocQ never receives a copy of it.

Yes. The cropper is free to use without an account, and the downloaded GIF carries no watermark, logo or added border on any frame.

Yes. After you add a GIF, the animation appears under the upload row; drag a box on it and everything outside the box is dimmed. The four percentage fields still work, which makes it easy to reuse exact values on several GIFs.

The pixels you keep aren’t scaled, so sharpness stays the same. Each frame does get a new 128-color palette, which can slightly change gradients and photo-like areas. The file usually gets smaller because there are fewer pixels to store.

Each GIF can be up to 100 MB, 60 seconds long and 4 million pixels per frame. Area width and Area height accept 1–100%, and the two positions accept 0–100%. One GIF is cropped per run.

This tool only crops, so the area you keep stays at its original pixel size. To make it bigger or smaller, open the cropped GIF in a GIF resizer and enter a new width.
