Tips

  • Start with Auto. It reads the GIF's own brightness and colour and picks gentle values.
  • Compare as you go. Drag the line on the preview to see the original next to the result.
  • Save your look. Save current settings as a preset, or copy a link to share them.
  • Keep files small. 128 colours is often enough - then try Compress GIF for social posts.
  • Creative grading? Continue in the GIF Color Adjuster.

Yes. Drop up to 20 GIFs together, set the look once and press Enhance. More than two files come as one ZIP.

The Enhancer fixes quality: exposure, contrast, sharpness, noise and speed. The GIF Color Adjuster is for creative colour grading.
