This online utility lets you change the canvas size of an animated GIF. You can set the new canvas dimensions (width/height) and select how to place the GIF on the canvas (centered, stretched to edges, or fully covering the canvas). The built-in GIF player allows you to see the original and modified animations in real time, and the information panel displays useful details about the original and modified canvas sizes and frame details.

This is a browser-based program that increases or decreases the canvas size of both animated and static GIFs. By modifying the canvas, you can add or remove space around your animations, change a GIF's width and height, and adapt the frames to the required aspect ratio. For example, if you need to convert a rectangular GIF into a square one, you can either add padding on the sides so the width is equal to the height or crop the sides of the animation. You can also create a GIF for Instagram stories (with a 9:16 aspect ratio) by adding top and bottom padding. In the tool options, you can enter the new canvas dimensions (width and height) and then choose the method for drawing the GIF on the new canvas. The available methods are "Pin GIF to Center", "Stretch GIF to Edges", and "Fill and Trim GIF". The first method, "Pin GIF to Center", places the animation directly in the middle of the new canvas. If the canvas is larger, then empty padding will appear around the GIF. If the canvas is smaller, then the animation is resized to a smaller size (keeping its original aspect ratio) and then also centered. The second method, "Stretch GIF to Edges", scales the GIF so that any two opposite sides touch the new canvas borders. The third method, "Fill and Trim GIF", enlarges the GIF until it fully fills the entire canvas, cropping any parts that extend beyond the edges. You can adjust the cropping shape either through the options (by setting horizontal and vertical crop positions) or directly in the input GIF player (by dragging the crop shape with your mouse). When adding empty space around the GIF, you can choose the canvas background color. This color will fill all the padding and will be applied to every frame. To clearly see the difference between the original animation and the resized result, enable the "Show GIF Borders" option. This option adds a dashed outline around both the original and new GIF images, making their true boundaries easily visible. This is especially useful when working with transparent GIFs, as there can be a lot of empty space around such GIFs. With the built-in GIF player, you can see the animation before and after changing the canvas size. The last column in the options also displays useful information about your GIF, including the old and new canvas sizes, the total number of frames, the current frame, and the delay between frames.

In this example, we change the canvas size of a jellyfish GIF from a rectangle to a square by using the "Pin GIF to Center" method. We set the canvas dimensions to 460×460 pixels, which is larger than the original animation. This size creates extra space around the jellyfish. Since the original frames are horizontally oriented, the new canvas adds more padding above and below than on the sides of the GIF. We fill this padding with white color, and the jellyfish remains centered across all 26 frames. (Source: Pexels.)
This example shows how to scale and reframe an animated dragon sprite from the Metal Slug Attack game using the "Stretch GIF to Edges" method. To achieve a 4:5 aspect ratio, we change the new canvas size to 240×300 pixels. The sprite is enlarged to match the new width, and empty vertical space is added to create the necessary canvas proportions. The background remains transparent, and to see it, we activate the "Show GIF Borders" option, which highlights the input sprite and output sprite boundaries. (Source: SNK.)
In this example, we're working with a static GIF of a plush bear. Our goal is to reduce the canvas size and reshape it into a square. To do it, we use the "Fill and Trim GIF" method. We set the new canvas width and height to 300 pixels, and as the "Fill and Trim GIF" method is selected, the GIF completely covers the entire canvas area. To focus the frame on the bear, we shift the visible canvas area slightly to the left (by setting the x position for horizontal crop to "0"), which trims the frame on the right. (Source: Pexels.)
