GIF Cropper — Frequently Asked Questions
Is my GIF uploaded anywhere?
No. The GIF is decoded frame by frame in your browser and re-encoded on your device with a small open-source encoder. Nothing leaves your computer.
Which presets are there?
1:1 for Instagram posts, 9:16 for Stories and Reels, 4:5 portrait feed, 16:9 and 4:3 landscape, or Free for any shape.
Does it keep the original frame timing?
Yes. Each frame's own delay is preserved, so GIFs with mixed timing (a long pause on the last frame, for example) play exactly as before.
Does cropping make the file smaller?
Usually yes — fewer pixels per frame means fewer bytes. Combine it with the GIF Compressor if you need it even lighter.
Will the quality change?
Frames are re-quantised to a 256-colour palette built from the GIF itself, so the result is visually identical for almost all GIFs. Photographic GIFs with thousands of subtle shades may show slight banding; no dithering is applied to keep files small.
