What the GIF Optimizer does
Re-encode an animated GIF more efficiently without changing a single visible pixel. The optimizer removes redundant data between frames and stores only the parts that change, which often saves a noticeable amount on screen recordings and animations with static backgrounds.
Options
- Optimization level: Standard is fast; Maximum tries harder and is a little slower.
Good to know
Because it is lossless, savings depend on the file. For bigger reductions use the GIF Compressor, which reduces colors.
How to use the GIF Optimizer
- 1
Drag your GIF file into the upload area, or click it to browse your device.
- 2
Adjust the options to suit your needs — the defaults work well for most files.

- 4
Preview the result, then download it. Batch results can be downloaded together as a ZIP.
Supported formats
- GIF supports simple animation and up to 256 colors per frame. It is universally supported but produces large files. More about the GIF format.
