Why nothing uploads

Other tools send your video to their servers, which costs them money per file, so they add watermarks, cap file sizes, and make you sign up. This tool does the work right here in your browser using your own device. Your file is never uploaded, so there is no wait, no watermark, no size limit, and no account.

Questions

How does GIF compression work?: GIFs spend most of their bytes on colors and frames. Reducing the palette (say 256 → 128 colors), shrinking the frame a little, and capping the frame rate cuts the size dramatically with little visible change.
How much smaller will my GIF get?: Typically 30–70% depending on the strength and the GIF's content. Busy, colorful GIFs shrink the most at Medium and Strong.
Will it still loop?: Yes, looping is preserved, and the animation timing stays the same unless you pick Strong (which caps very high frame rates).
Even smaller?: Convert it to MP4, that's usually 5–10× smaller than any GIF. Use the GIF to MP4 tool if the destination plays video.
Does my GIF get uploaded?: No. Compression happens in your browser; the file never leaves your device.
