GIF Cropper — Crop Without Breaking the Loop

Crop an animated GIF by exact pixel coordinates with a live preview. Apply the same crop to every frame, keep the timing intact, or batch-crop GIFs with Premium.

Drop a GIF — drag the crop, keep the motion

GIF only · Free up to 20 MB, Premium 50 MB

With the frame trimmed, shrink the file while the loop and timing stay intact or set the exact width a platform asks for. For a still photo, crop with aspect-ratio presets instead.

Width (px)Number input
Width of the kept region in pixels, capped at the GIF's own width; together with Left it must stay inside the original frame, and the same cut is applied to every frame of the animation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How GIF Cropper helps you get it done

Real problems it solves every day — for businesses, creators, and everyday tasks. Find the use case that fits you and start.

Productivity

Remove borders and letterboxing

Screen recordings and re-shared GIFs often carry black bars or window chrome. Crop them away so the animation fills its frame — and the file gets smaller too.

Social Media

Focus on the action

Cut a GIF down to just the part that matters — a button click in a product demo, a face in a reaction clip — so viewers aren't distracted by the rest of the frame.

Web & SEO

Make square crops for avatars and thumbnails

Set an equal width and height to pull a square region out of a widescreen GIF, ready for profile pictures, thumbnails and grid layouts.

For Business

Clean up tutorial and demo captures

Crop screen-capture GIFs to the relevant window or panel before dropping them into docs, README files or support articles.
