GIF Compressor FAQ

How do I compress a GIF without losing quality?

Start with "Lighter": it reduces colors and repeated pixels between frames but keeps the dimensions, which is usually invisible. Only if you need a strict limit (like 1 MB for email) does it also scale the GIF down.

How do I get a GIF under 10 MB for Discord?

Choose "Under 10 MB" and press Compress GIF. Discord's free upload limit is 10 MB; the tool keeps trying lighter settings until the GIF fits.

What size should a GIF be for email?

Aim for under 1 MB so it loads fast in Gmail, Outlook and Apple Mail. The "Under 1 MB" preset is made for that.

Is the GIF compressor free?

Yes. Compressing your own GIFs is free with no watermark and no account.
