Resize GIF

Resize animated GIF files online while keeping the animation in GIF format. Upload a GIF, choose a new width, height, or percentage, preview the original and resized animation, then download the updated GIF for websites, chat apps, social posts, or publishing workflows.

This page is built specifically for GIF files, which makes it different from a general image resizer. The goal is to keep animated frames playing instead of flattening the file into a single still image.

What Makes Resize GIF Different

Static image resizers are usually built for JPG, PNG, and WebP files. Resize GIF is different because it works with animated GIF frames and re-encodes the result back into GIF format. That makes it better suited for reaction GIFs, looping graphics, animated stickers, and lightweight motion assets.

If you need to resize an ordinary photo, use the standard Image Resizer page. If you need to resize an animated GIF while preserving motion, this page is the right tool.

How to Resize an Animated GIF Online

Step 1: Upload your GIF

Choose an animated GIF file from your device. The tool previews the original animation so you can confirm you selected the right file.

Step 2: Set the new size

Enter a new width, height, or percentage. Keep aspect ratio locked if you want the animation to scale proportionally.

Step 3: Generate the resized GIF

The tool decodes the animation frames, resizes them in the browser, and rebuilds the result as a GIF.

Step 4: Download the new GIF

Review the resized animation preview and download the GIF when it looks right.

When a GIF Resizer Helps Most

Web pages and blogs: Resize large GIFs so they fit article layouts more cleanly and stay easier to load.

Chat apps and messaging: Shrink animated GIFs to dimensions that feel better in chat windows and team discussions.

Social publishing: Adjust GIF size before posting to social platforms, newsletters, or content drafts.

Simple optimization workflow: If the animation is fine but the size is not, resizing can often solve the immediate problem without rebuilding the asset from scratch.

How This Differs From the Standard Image Resizer

Image Resizer is designed for general images like JPG and PNG. Resize GIF is focused on animated GIF files and keeps the output as GIF, which is why it has separate animated previews, GIF-specific validation, and animation-preservation messaging.

That separation keeps the workflow clearer and avoids the confusion of treating a moving GIF like an ordinary still image.
