FAQ
How much can I reduce a GIF file size?
Typically 30-80% depending on the content. Simple animations with large solid areas compress better. The tool uses lossy LZW compression, color reduction, and frame optimization.
Will the compressed GIF look worse?
At moderate compression levels (lossy 30-80), the difference is barely noticeable. Use the side-by-side comparison slider to check quality before downloading.
What is lossy GIF compression?
Lossy GIF compression modifies the image data slightly to achieve better LZW compression ratios. It introduces subtle dithering but significantly reduces file size compared to lossless optimization.
How do I compress a GIF for Discord?
Use the Platform Presets mode and select Discord (8 MB limit) or Discord Emoji (256 KB limit). The tool automatically adjusts settings to fit the requirement.
Can I compress multiple GIFs at once?
Yes, drag and drop multiple GIF files to enable batch mode. All files are compressed with the same settings and downloaded as a ZIP archive.
