About editing an animated GIF in the browser

This decodes every frame of an animated GIF using the browser's ImageDecoder API, lays them out in a grid so you can click any frame to drop it, lets you speed up or slow down playback (0.5×–2×), and optionally caps the width to shrink the file — then re-encodes the survivors into a new GIF with the gifenc library.

It's a trim-and-resize tool rather than a full frame-reordering editor: frames can be removed and timing/size adjusted, but reordering or inserting new frames isn't supported yet. Everything runs locally — nothing is uploaded.

Supported files

Accepts animated GIF. Produces a smaller or shorter animated GIF.

Is my file uploaded?

No. Every frame is decoded, edited and re-encoded entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

Common problems

"Your browser can't do this"
GIF frame decoding needs the ImageDecoder API — use a recent Chrome, Edge or Safari 17+. Firefox doesn't fully support it yet.
This GIF only has one frame
A single-frame GIF isn't animated, so there's nothing to edit — this tool needs a genuinely animated source.

How to use the GIF Editor

  1. 1

    Add your GIF

    Drop in the animated GIF — every frame is decoded in your browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari 17+).

  2. 2

    Drop frames and set speed

    Click any frame in the grid to remove it from the result, and pick a playback speed from 0.5× to 2×. Optionally cap the width to shrink it.

  3. 3

    Save and download

    Click Save changes; the kept frames are re-encoded into a new GIF.

GIF Editor — frequently asked questions

Is my GIF uploaded anywhere?+

No. Every frame is decoded, edited and re-encoded entirely in your browser — nothing is sent to a server.

Which browsers work?+

Chrome, Edge and Safari 17+ — decoding a GIF's frames uses the ImageDecoder API, which Firefox doesn't fully support yet. The tool tells you if yours can't.

What can I edit?+

Drop individual frames, speed the animation up or slow it down (0.5× to 2×), and optionally shrink it to a maximum width.

Can I reorder frames or add new ones?+

Not yet — this trims existing frames and adjusts timing/size. Reordering and adding frames aren't supported.

Do you upload my files to a server?+

No — every tool here processes your files entirely on your device, and nothing is uploaded to a server. The only exception is the AI tools, which send the extracted text (not the file) to Claude to do their work.

Is there a file size limit?+

There's no artificial limit we impose, but since processing happens in your browser, very large files (500+ MB or 1,000+ pages) are limited by your device's memory rather than by us.
