FAQ

How does this shrink an existing GIF?+

It decodes every frame back to raw pixels, then re-encodes with your chosen settings: a smaller size, fewer colors, or fewer frames all reduce the file. Fewer colors is often the biggest single win, since GIF stores close to full color data per frame.

Can I set exactly how many times the GIF loops?+

Yes — pick loop forever, play once, or a specific number of plays. That value is written directly into the GIF's loop extension, the same field every GIF player reads.

Will dropping frames make the animation choppy?+

Some, yes — keeping every 2nd or 3rd frame trades smoothness for a smaller file (each kept frame's display time is extended to preserve the original overall duration). For fast motion it's more noticeable than for slower animations.

Does this work on any GIF, or just ones made with your converter?+

Any standard GIF — including ones from other tools — as long as it's not corrupted. The decoder handles partial-frame updates and transparency the way real-world optimized GIFs commonly use them.
