About GIF Compressor
GIF Compressor shrinks GIF files in your browser by reducing the colour palette, deduplicating identical frames and applying lossy compression at your chosen level. The output is still a GIF — animation, frame timing and transparency all carry over.
Best results come from photo-style GIFs with many similar frames; sharp-edged or text-heavy GIFs may show colour banding at the heaviest setting. If you control the delivery target (your own website, a modern chat app), converting to WebP will shrink further than any GIF compression — but compressed GIF is the safer choice for forums, embeds and older clients.
