How to reduce frames in a GIF

1. Add your GIF

Choose a GIF from your computer or drag it into the editor. There's no signup required to start.

2. Choose how many frames to drop

Pick a preset and check the live preview. The file-size readout updates automatically, so you can compare each result.

Undo individual edits from your history or reset the GIF and try again.

3. Download the reduced GIF

Compare the original and edited versions side by side. When the motion and file size look right, download your GIF for free with no watermark.

Fewer frames, with the new file size shown live

Set the frame rate

Change a GIF's frame rate to match its animation. Fewer frames per second means a smaller gif file, so pick a frame count that keeps the motion readable.

Drop every second frame

Presets remove every second or nth frame in one click, or select frames yourself. The remaining frames keep their frame delay, so the animation duration stays close to the original.

Watch the file size drop

The preview plays your reduced GIF with an automatic file-size readout after each change. Compare it with the original side by side before you download.

Drop frames, keep colors

Remove duplicate or selected frames without reducing the color palette. Preview the motion and file size after each change.

Stack edits without re-uploading

After dropping frames, reduce colors to 256 or fewer, apply lossy compression, crop or resize in the same editor. Each tool reads your current file, and undo works across all of them.

Reduce frames for free

Drop frames from a GIF without signing up or installing an app. The free plan adds no watermark.

Reduce frames, then optimize the rest

Frame reduction is one pass at a smaller animated GIF. In the same editor you can also cut sections, change speed, dither down to fewer colors and compress the result, pixel-exact preview included.
