Resize an animated GIF by percentage or exact pixels and keep every frame in sync

This GIF resizer changes the dimensions of an animated GIF in one pass, so every frame stays in step and the loop and frame timing are carried over. Scale it by percentage for a quick shrink, or enter an exact width in pixels when a form or chat app asks for a specific size. Keep aspect ratio is on by default, so the picture is not stretched.

Resize a GIF by percentage

Percentage mode shows a Scale slider from 10 to 200 percent that starts at 50. At 50 percent each side is half as long, so the GIF has about a quarter of the pixels. The original size sits above the controls, and the new dimensions appear on the preview after the resize runs.

  1. Drop a GIF into the upload area.
  2. Keep Percentage selected and set the Scale slider.
  3. Select Resize GIF and wait for the preview.
  4. Check the new dimensions shown on the preview.
  5. Select See result and download the file.

Resize a GIF to an exact width and height

Choose Exact pixels and type a Width. With Keep aspect ratio on, the height follows from the original proportions, so nothing is squeezed. Clear the checkbox to show the Height field and set both values; the frames are then stretched to exactly that size, which can distort faces and text. Both sides accept numbers from 1 to 4096, though free results are kept at web size.

Make a GIF smaller for chat, email or an upload form

Shrinking the dimensions is the quickest way to lighten a GIF, because each frame has fewer pixels. If the file is still too heavy, reduce its colors and optimize frames, or crop away dead space before you scale so less has to be kept. Enlarging works up to 200 percent, but a GIF is a raster picture and enlarged frames look softer, not sharper.

Resize many GIFs by the same rule

To resize a whole set of GIFs, switch from Single GIF to Batch, add the files and set the Percentage or Exact pixels rule once. It is applied to every GIF and the results download as one ZIP. Batch needs Premium; a single GIF does not.

Before you resize

  • Decide whether you need new dimensions or only a lighter file, because colors and lossy settings live in the compressor.
  • Leave Keep aspect ratio on unless a platform requires both sides exactly.
  • Play the loop in the preview before you download.

A smaller canvas may still miss a chat or forum upload limit, so lower the colors and optimize frames to cut the file size; to change what is in view rather than the scale, crop the same region from every frame. Still images are handled by the image resizer with social presets.

Switches between resizing the GIF by a percentage of its original size or entering exact pixel dimensions for a specific target size.Options: PercentageExact pixels
ScaleSliderRange: 10–200% · Default: 50%
Sets the new size as a percentage of the original in 5% steps, from 10% to 200%, where values below 100% shrink the GIF and values above enlarge it; shown in Percentage mode.
Width (px)Number inputRange: 1–4096px
Sets the output width in pixels, prefilled with the GIF's original width; useful when a platform requires a specific size, and shown in Exact pixels mode.
Height (px)Number inputRange: 1–4096px
Sets the output height in pixels independently of the width; only appears in Exact pixels mode when Keep aspect ratio is turned off, letting you stretch to a custom shape.
Keep aspect ratioOn / Off
Keeps width and height in their original proportion so the animation is not stretched, calculating the height automatically from the width you enter; on by default and shown in Exact pixels mode.

Frequently Asked Questions

How GIF Resizer 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.

Social Media

Match platform size requirements

Stickers, banners, emotes and embeds each have their own pixel specs. Use exact-pixels mode to hit the required dimensions while the animation keeps playing.

Web & SEO

Scale down GIFs for faster pages

A GIF displayed at 300px wide doesn't need 1200px frames. Resizing to the display size cuts bandwidth and load time on blogs, docs and product pages.

For Business

Prepare GIFs for email signatures and newsletters

Email clients render small animations best. Scale a screen recording or logo animation down to signature-friendly dimensions without re-recording it.

Productivity

Standardize GIF sizes across a set

When a page or presentation shows several GIFs side by side, resize them all to the same width so the layout stays clean and consistent.
