Open the GIF in the editor above. Cut or reorder frames on the timeline, crop and resize under Canvas, change the speed under Motion, and add captions under Text. Then click Create GIF and download the result.

Is this online GIF editor free?

Yes. No account, no watermark, and no limit on how many GIFs you edit.

Hover over each frame you don't want on the timeline and click its × button. To keep only the middle of a GIF, remove frames from both ends.

How do I speed up or slow down a GIF?

Under Motion, turn off Keep the original timing and drag Frame delay. A shorter delay plays faster: 50 ms is 20 frames per second, 100 ms is 10. To speed up a GIF that has very short delays already, delete every other frame instead.

Does editing a GIF lower its quality?

Usually not visibly. The GIF already uses at most 256 colors per frame, and the editor re-encodes it with the same limit. Keep 256 colors and the original width for the closest match.

Can I edit animated WEBP or PNG files?

Yes, in browsers that can read their frames, which includes current Chrome and Edge. They're edited the same way and saved as a GIF.

Can I edit a GIF on my phone?

Yes, in Safari on iPhone and iPad and Chrome on Android. Phones are limited to the first 60 frames and 640 px wide so the browser doesn't run out of memory.

No. The GIF is decoded, edited, and encoded again inside your browser, so it never leaves your device.

How it works

How to edit a GIF online

1
Open the GIF
Drop a GIF on the editor above. Every frame appears on the timeline with its original delay, at the GIF's own width, and see-through GIFs stay see-through.
2
Make your edits
Use the four tabs and the timeline: Canvas to crop and resize, Motion for speed and looping, Text for captions, Style for colors, and the timeline to cut or reorder frames.
3
Save the new GIF
Click Create GIF. The edited GIF plays in a preview with its file size, so you can compare it with the original before you download it.

Every edit

What you can change in a GIF, and where

Edits combine freely: crop a GIF, slow it down, and caption it in one go. Settings like crop, speed, and colors aren't baked in until you click Create GIF, so you can change them back at any time. Deleted frames are gone, though; add the GIF again to start over.

Edit	Where	How
Trim or cut frames	Timeline	Hover a frame and click ×. Remove the start, the end, or any frame in between.
Reorder frames	Timeline	Drag a frame, or use its arrows. Reverse order flips the whole sequence.
Hold a frame longer	Timeline	Duplicate it; each copy adds one more delay.
Crop	Canvas	Click Crop and drag the box, freely or locked to 1:1, 4:3, 16:9, or 9:16.
Resize	Canvas	Drag Width (40–1000 px) or pick a preset like Emoji or Square.
Rotate or flip	Canvas	Rotate 90° either way, or mirror horizontally or vertically.
Change speed	Motion	Turn off Keep the original timing and set one delay for every frame.
Reverse or boomerang	Motion	Play backwards, or forward then back for a seamless loop.
Loop count	Motion	Loop forever, or play once, twice, or three times.
Add text	Text	Add captions, drag them into place, and choose the frames they show on.
Background	Style	Keep transparency, or fill it with white, black, or any color.
File size	Style	Use fewer colors, turn dithering off, or share one palette across frames.

Quality

Editing a GIF without making it worse

Every edit means encoding the GIF again. Done right, the new file looks the same as the old one; a few habits keep it that way:

Don't make it bigger than it was

The editor opens a GIF at its own width. Shrinking it is fine, but stretching a 300 px GIF to 800 px only makes it blurry and much larger. Crop first, then resize down.

Match the colors to the content

Keep 256 colors and dithering on for GIFs made from photos or video. For flat graphics, stickers, and screen recordings, turn dithering off and try 64 or 128 colors: the edges stay clean and the file shrinks.

Mind the transparent edges

GIF pixels are either fully transparent or fully solid. When you resize a see-through GIF or add text to it, the soft edges this creates get rounded one way or the other. When you know the background it will sit on, pick that color under Style for smooth edges.

Long GIFs

Editing long or heavy GIFs

The editor opens GIFs up to 20 MB and keeps up to 150 frames on a computer, or 60 on a phone. If a GIF has more, the first frames are loaded and a note tells you how many were left out, so you can trim it down from the start.

To make a long GIF lighter, cut frames from the ends first, then lower the width, and finally try fewer colors. The preview after Create GIF shows the new file size each time.

Starting from a video rather than a GIF? Use the video to GIF converter, or the GIF maker to build a new GIF from photos.
