GIF Compression
GIF is a type of image file format that notably includes animation support. GIFs are also great because they are compatible with many different applications and operating systems. Generally, if you have a GIF, you should be able to use it pretty much anywhere.
Why would you need a GIF compressor?
Theoretically, there is no limit to how large a GIF’s file size is. Depending on the length and visual fidelity of the GIF, it could be quite large indeed. This makes storing, sharing, and uploading GIFs tricky.
This is why a GIF compressor tool would be helpful. Compression can make files smaller while only nominally affecting the quality of the file. If you have a GIF that is too big for whatever reason, running it through a compressor could solve your problem.
How can you compress a GIF for free?
Our tool on this page can compress a GIF for free. You don’t need to register, hand over your email, or deal with watermarked files. You can use the tool as much as you want and can even compress multiple GIFs at once.
To start, you’ll need to upload some GIFs you’d like compressed. You can drag and drop your files onto the “Drop Your Files Here” field. If you’re on mobile, you can hit the “UPLOAD FILES” button instead and navigate to your GIFs.
Once you upload your files. our tool will automatically start compressing them. You can watch the progress bars as the compression happens in real time.
Once an upload is done compressing, the progress bar becomes a button that says “DOWNLOAD”. Hit this and you’ll get a new file for your GIF that will be of considerably smaller file size than what you uploaded.
To save you some time, you can hit the “DOWNLOAD ALL” button once all your conversions are complete. This will download all your compressed GIFs in one ZIP archive.
If you need to compress more than 20 GIFs, simply hit the “CLEAR QUEUE” button and repeat the steps.
Is this GIF compressor tool safe?
If you have concerns about sharing your GIFs with our tool, there is no need to worry. Our server is fully automated and it automatically purges all data after one hour. That means 60 minutes after you upload a GIF, the server will delete that GIF and its compressed counterpart. This keeps any of your sensitive data safe and secure.
However, your original files are always safe from deletion. When you upload a file, our server copies it and then compresses the copied version. Your original stays safe on your computer or mobile device, so there’s nothing to fear!
