- Upload the GIF and review its original size and dimensions.
- Lower the output width first, since pixel dimensions have the biggest impact on file size.
- Reduce frame count or FPS if the file is still too heavy.
- Compare the optimized version against the original before publishing.

Tool guide
How to prepare GIF files for product pages and docs
Use this optimizer when an animation needs to be shared in documentation, a help article, a product changelog, or a quick visual preview, and the original GIF is too heavy to publish as-is.
GIF is not always the best format for web performance. If you control the page, a video, Lottie, or CSS animation may be lighter and sharper than a large GIF.
GIF is useful for support replies, docs, quick previews, and places where a simple looping animation is easier than an interactive runtime.
Avoid huge dimensions, long loops, low-contrast motion, and GIFs that distract from reading.

GIF Optimizer FAQ
How do I compress a GIF online?
Upload the GIF, lower the output width, frame rate, or frame count, then convert. Compare the new file size against the original before downloading.
What is the fastest way to shrink a GIF?
Reducing the pixel dimensions has the biggest impact, followed by lowering the frame count. Quality changes help too, but usually save less than resizing.
Is my GIF uploaded to a server?
No. The GIF is decoded, resampled, and re-encoded entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
Is this GIF optimizer free?
Yes. This is a free online GIF optimizer and compressor with no account required.
