Crop GIF

Trim the extra edges, captions or black bars off a GIF and keep only what matters. Every frame is cropped in the same spot, so the animation stays intact.

By ratio or by pixel

Choose a ready-made ratio: 1:1 for profile pictures and emoji, 4:5 and 9:16 for Instagram and Stories, 16:9 for video platforms, or crop freely. The left, top, width and height fields let you place the crop exactly, to the pixel.

Cropping also makes the GIF smaller, because it stores fewer pixels. Need it smaller still? Resize it.

How it works

GIF frames often store only the part that changes. So the tool first rebuilds every frame as a full picture, then crops, and finally re-encodes the animation with a shared palette. That way no ghosting or stray patches end up inside your crop.

The GIF is processed in your browser, never uploaded, and gets no watermark.

Frequently asked questions

Is the animation speed kept?

Yes, frame delays don't change.

Can I crop to a circle?

GIFs are rectangular; circular display is done by the platform (a profile picture, for example).

How big a GIF can it handle?

It depends on your browser's memory; GIFs with hundreds of high-resolution frames may be slower.
