Make Your GIFs Small Enough to Share
Animated GIFs have a size problem. A three-second screen recording can easily be 10MB or more, and that is too large for most platforms. Discord limits uploads to 8MB on free accounts. Slack compresses large GIFs into blurry thumbnails. Email clients reject attachments over 10-25MB. Twitter and forum platforms have their own limits. You end up with a GIF that looks great but cannot be shared anywhere.
Our compressor reduces GIF file size through multiple optimization techniques applied in combination. It reduces the color palette to the minimum needed, removes duplicate frames, optimizes the frame delay timing, applies lossy compression to reduce pixel data, and strips unnecessary metadata. The result is a GIF that is dramatically smaller while looking nearly identical to the original. Most users cannot tell the difference at typical viewing sizes.
You control the quality-size trade-off. Drag the quality slider to find the sweet spot between visual fidelity and file size. A real-time preview shows you exactly what the compressed GIF will look like before you download it. Processing happens entirely in your browser, so your GIFs are never uploaded to a server. Your screen recordings and reaction GIFs stay private.
