Compression Options Explained

Color reduction — Fewer colors = smaller file. 128 colors is usually unnoticeable.
Lossy compression — Introduces subtle artifacts but dramatically reduces size.
Scaling — Reducing dimensions has the biggest impact on file size.

Why Compress GIFs?

Large GIFs slow down websites, eat mobile data, and may not load on some platforms. Discord limits uploads to 8 MB, Twitter to 15 MB, and many forums have even stricter limits. Our compressor helps you hit those targets while keeping your GIF looking great.
