GIF Resizer

Resize your animated GIFs by entering exact pixel dimensions or scaling by percentage. Each frame is processed individually to preserve smooth animation. Need to reduce file weight instead? Try our GIF compressor, or upscale a low-resolution GIF with AI-enhanced detail.

How to Resize a GIF

  1. Upload your animated GIF file using drag and drop or the file browser.
  2. Choose your resize method - scale by percentage or set exact pixel dimensions. Use the preset buttons for popular sizes like Discord emoji (128x128) or Twitter GIF (480x480).
  3. Select a quality setting. High uses Lanczos filtering for the sharpest result, Medium balances speed and quality, and Fast processes large files quickly.
  4. Preview the new dimensions in the summary panel before processing.
  5. Click "Resize GIF" and download your resized animation. If the file is still too large, try our GIF compressor to reduce the weight further.

Quality Settings Explained

High Quality

Uses Lanczos filtering for the best visual result. Ideal for logos, artwork, or when you plan to upscale your GIF afterwards. Takes longer but delivers the sharpest output.

Medium Quality

Triangle filter provides a good balance between quality and speed. Recommended for most use cases - social media posts, chat messages, and web content.

Fast Processing

Point sampling for quickest results. Best for previews or when speed matters. May produce pixelated results when upscaling - consider our AI-powered GIF upscaler for better enlargement.

Common GIF Resize Use Cases

Discord Emojis and Stickers

Discord requires emojis to be under 256KB at 128x128 pixels. Use the 128x128 preset to match this. After resizing, you can further compress the GIF to meet the file size limit.

Twitter / X Animated Posts

Twitter supports GIFs up to 15MB but recommends under 5MB. Resizing to 480x480 or smaller helps reduce file weight. Download animated content with our Twitter GIF downloader.

Email and Newsletters

Animated GIFs in emails should be under 500KB and 600px wide for proper display across mail clients. You can also adjust the animation speed for smoother email displays.

Web Performance

Smaller GIFs load faster and improve page speed scores. For even better performance, consider converting GIFs to MP4 video format which is typically 80% smaller.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our tool processes each frame individually with advanced filtering algorithms to preserve animation smoothness. When scaling down, quality is well maintained. For better enlargement, consider our AI-powered GIF upscaler which adds detail when increasing size.

Percentage mode scales proportionally - 50% makes it half the size, 200% doubles it. Dimensions mode lets you specify exact pixel width and height, which is useful when you need a specific size like 128x128 for a Discord emoji or 480x480 for a Twitter post.

High Quality (Lanczos) is recommended for logos and artwork. Medium (Triangle) works well for social media and web use. Fast (Point) is best for quick previews or large files. For most users, Medium offers the best tradeoff.

Yes, the tool supports GIFs up to 50MB. Very large files may take a few minutes to process. For best performance with large files, choose Fast quality mode. If your file is too large, try cutting unnecessary frames first.

Switch to Dimensions mode and use the 128x128 preset for emojis. Discord requires emoji files to be under 256KB, so after resizing you may need to compress the GIF too. For stickers, use 320x320 with a 512KB limit.

No, resizing only changes pixel dimensions - frame timing stays the same. To adjust playback speed, use our GIF speed changer. You can also change the loop count to control how many times the animation repeats.
