Examples

1. Optimizing GIF for Web Banner

Web Designer

Background

A designer has a high-resolution 1000px wide GIF that needs to fit into a 400px wide sidebar.

Problem

The original file is too large and exceeds the layout width.

How to use

Upload the file, select 'Absolute Dimensions', set width to 400, and ensure 'Maintain Aspect Ratio' is checked.

resizeMode: pixels, width: 400, maintainAspectRatio: true, interpolation: lanczos3

Outcome

A perfectly scaled 400px wide GIF that maintains its original animation and aspect ratio.

2. Reducing File Size for Email

Marketing Specialist

Background

An email campaign requires an animated GIF, but the file size is currently too large for email delivery limits.

Problem

The GIF needs to be smaller in both dimensions and file size to ensure it loads quickly for recipients.

How to use

Upload the GIF, choose 'Percentage Scale', and set the scale to 50%.

FAQ

Will resizing my GIF remove the animation?

No, the tool is designed to preserve the animation frames by default.

Can I change the dimensions to specific pixel values?

Yes, you can select 'Absolute Dimensions' to input your desired width and height in pixels.

What is the maximum file size I can upload?

You can upload GIF files up to 50MB in size.

How do I ensure the image doesn't look distorted?
