- Drop in your animated GIF.
- Type a new width and height, or a percentage.
- Preview the resized animation, then download.
Features
- Resize by exact pixels or by percentage.
- Lock aspect ratio to avoid stretching the animation.
- Every frame is scaled together, so the animation stays in sync.
- Frame timing is preserved exactly, so playback speed does not change.
Does resizing a GIF affect its speed?
No. Only the pixel dimensions of each frame change. The delay stored between frames is copied over unchanged, so a resized GIF plays back at exactly the same speed as the original.
Why resize a GIF instead of just compressing it?
Compressing mainly reduces colours and drops frames, which trims file size without changing how large the animation displays. Resizing instead is for when the GIF needs to physically fit a smaller space, such as an embed on a forum with a maximum display width, a chat app that shrinks oversized images anyway, or a page layout where the animation needs to sit at a specific pixel size rather than just a smaller file.
Can resizing and compressing be combined?
Yes, though this tool keeps the two jobs separate rather than mixing every control onto one page. Resize the GIF here first to the dimensions you need, then run the result through the GIF Compressor to also cut file size with colour reduction or frame dropping, or do it the other way around if file size matters more than the exact final dimensions.
Frequently asked questions
Can I resize and compress a GIF at the same time?
This tool focuses on dimensions. For file size, run the result through the GIF Compressor afterward, or use its scale option which resizes and compresses together.
Will resizing down make my GIF file smaller?
Usually yes, since fewer pixels per frame means less data, though the effect is smaller than reducing colours does.
Does this work on GIFs with many frames?
Yes, including animations over 300 frames, though those take a little longer to process; the tool lets it run and shows progress.
Can I resize a GIF up, larger than its original size?
Yes, though like any image, enlarging a GIF beyond its original pixel dimensions makes it softer, since there is no extra detail in the source frames to add.
Does the aspect ratio lock apply to every frame?
Yes, the same width and height, and the same lock ratio setting, apply to every frame in the animation, so nothing shifts out of sync between frames.
Will resizing remove any frames from my GIF?
No, every frame in the original animation is kept. Only the pixel dimensions change; use the GIF Compressor if you specifically want to drop frames.
