CompressGIF

CompressGIF helps you shrink animated GIFs for upload limits, email, documentation and product demos. Drop a file into the browser, choose quality-first, size-first or a target size, then compare the result before downloading. Local GIF files are processed on your device without being uploaded to a server. Exports have no watermark.

The browser tool keeps the original dimensions, animation frames, timing and looping by default. Resizing is optional. Free target presets include 100 KB, 512 KB and 1 MB. If a target cannot be reached, the tool says so and lets you download the smallest result it found.

The free plan handles up to three GIFs per batch, with a 10 MB limit per file. Pro adds larger batches and files, custom target sizes and ZIP downloads.

Developers can use the separate hosted REST API to compress GIFs from scripts and applications. An MCP endpoint also lets compatible AI clients start GIF compression jobs as part of a workflow. API and MCP jobs run in the cloud; they are separate from local browser compression. The compressor uses Gifsicle for optimization rather than generative AI.

CompressGIF is useful for people preparing animated tutorials, support articles, website assets or messages, and for developers who need GIF compression in an automated workflow.
