How to use GIF Crop & Resize

  1. Choose a GIF, drop it on the workspace or try the sample. Your files are processed in this browser.
  2. Draw a crop box or enter exact coordinates. Apply a size preset, then choose nearest-pixel scaling for pixel art.
  3. Play the preview, use undo if needed, then open Export and create your download.

The tabs keep this tool focused while retaining useful supporting controls. For a complete editing workspace, use the GIF Editor.

Quality you can check

  • An unchanged download keeps the original file byte for byte, unless you explicitly choose optimization or color reduction.
  • Timing and loop changes keep the original compressed frame images.
  • Pixel edits and changed frame sequences keep exact colors when representable. If a frame requires palette reduction, the export reports it.
  • Choose APNG or PNG frames for full-color output and soft transparency. GIF has binary transparency and limited palettes.

Workspace shortcuts

Space: play or pause. Arrow keys: previous or next frame. Shift-click: select a range. Ctrl+Z: undo. Ctrl+Shift+Z: redo. F: fullscreen. O: onion skin. Ctrl+S: export.

File limits

GIFs up to 50 MiB, 4,096 pixels per edge, 1,000 frames and 80 million decoded frame pixels. Large animations need more memory. Frame timing uses 10 ms steps; 20 ms is the fastest reliable playback in common browsers.

Are my GIFs uploaded for processing?

GIF processing and exports run in your browser. The website also uses ads and analytics as explained in its privacy policy.

Can I keep the original GIF quality?

Unchanged exports retain the original bytes unless optimization or color reduction is requested. Timing, looping and comment-only edits retain compressed frame images. Pixel or sequence edits keep exact colors when representable and report any palette reduction. APNG and PNG keep full-color RGBA.

What are the file limits?

Up to 50 MiB, 4,096 pixels per edge, 1,000 frames and 80 million decoded frame pixels. Background removal supports at most 4 million source pixels per frame. Contact sheets and CSS sprite atlases are limited to 16 million pixels.

Which extra controls are available?

crop and resize, frame selection and timing, export choices. Preview, undo and fullscreen remain available. Use the full GIF Editor for a broader editing workflow.
