How Our GIF Compressor Works

We use industry-standard GIF optimization combined with smart color reduction to achieve 40-70% file size reduction while preserving animation smoothness.

Our Compression Technique

  • Smart Compression: Intelligent color reduction to 128 colors + lossy optimization. Achieves 40-70% file size reduction with minimal visual difference.
  • Animation Preserved: All frames, timing, and loop settings are maintained. Your GIF plays exactly as intended.
  • Content-Aware: Automatically detects graphics vs photos and applies optimal dithering for the best visual quality.
  • Metadata Removal: Comments and application-specific data are stripped to minimize file size.

Best For

Animated memes, reaction GIFs, UI animations, loading spinners, and any animated content that needs to load quickly on web pages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does GIF compression preserve animation?

Yes. All frames, timing, delays, and loop settings are preserved. Your GIF will play exactly as it did before compression — just with a smaller file size.

How does smart GIF compression work?

Our smart compression uses intelligent color reduction (128 colors) and lossy optimization to achieve 40-70% file size reduction. The compressor automatically detects whether your GIF contains flat graphics or photos and applies the optimal dithering strategy. The result is significantly smaller files with minimal visual difference.

Why are GIF files so large?

GIFs store each frame separately with a 256-color palette per frame. Animated GIFs with many frames or complex motion can easily reach 10-50MB. Our compressor reduces colors intelligently and optimizes frame storage to shrink files dramatically.

How much can GIF compression reduce file size?

Results vary by content. Simple animations (logos, icons): 50-70% reduction. Screen recordings: 30-50% reduction. Video-to-GIF conversions: 20-40% reduction. GIFs with fewer colors and simpler motion compress better.

Can I compress GIFs with transparency?

Yes. GIF transparency (single-color transparency, not alpha) is fully preserved through compression. Transparent backgrounds work exactly as expected after optimization.

Should I use GIF or video for web animations?

Use GIF for: Short loops, memes, reactions, simple UI animations where universal compatibility matters. Use video (MP4/WebM) for: Longer content, higher quality needs, or when file size is critical — video is 5-10x smaller than equivalent GIF. Consider our image compressor for static images.

What are the file size and batch limits?

TierMax File SizeMax Files/BatchParallel Jobs
Guest/Free50 MB50 files3 at once
Pro1 GB1000 files6 at once

Note: Batch and parallel processing limits apply site-wide across all compressors.

How are credits calculated for compression?

Cost: 1 credit per 10 MB

How it works:

  • Files up to 10 MB: 1 credit
  • 11-20 MB: 2 credits
  • 21-30 MB: 3 credits
  • 31-40 MB: 4 credits

Example: A 5 MB file = 1 credit. A 95 MB file = 10 credits.

Why per-megabyte? Larger files require more processing resources (memory, CPU, bandwidth, storage).

What are my daily and monthly credit limits?

Credit allocations vary by account tier:

TierCreditsReset
Guest50/dayMidnight UTC
Free50/dayMidnight UTC
Pro12,000/monthBilling cycle

Note: Credits are based on file size (1 credit per 10 MB). Guest/Free users have 50 credits per day. Pro users have 12,000 credits per month.
