GIF Optimizer — frequently asked questions

Is this GIF optimizer free?+

Yes — compress GIFs for free with no watermark and no sign-up.

Does the GIF stay animated?+

Yes. We decode every frame, optimize it, and re-encode an animated GIF that keeps the motion and loop.

How do I make a GIF smaller?+

Lower the color count, reduce the width, and/or drop frames (e.g. keep every 2nd frame). The file size updates live so you can find the right balance.

Are my GIFs uploaded to a server?+

No — decoding and re-encoding run entirely in your browser; your GIF never leaves your device.

Can it keep transparency?+

Yes — choose “Keep transparency”, or flatten onto a white or black background.
