This online utility lets you change the speed of a GIF animation. You can speed it up or slow it down. You can set the same constant delay between all frames or change the delays of individual frames. You can also play both the input and output GIFs at the same time and compare their speeds.

This is a browser-based program that increases or decreases the frame rate of GIFs. The frame rate and the playback speed of a GIF is determined by the delay time between its frames. When a frame is drawn, a small delay period is inserted after the frame that determines how long one frame is shown on the screen. The duration is measured in milliseconds. For example, 1000ms equals 1 second, 500ms equals half a second, and 100ms equals one-tenth of a second. The frame rate can be calculated by counting how many delays fit in 1 second of animation. For example, if the delay is 100ms, then the frame rate is 10fps (because 10×100ms = 1 second), or if the delay is 40ms, then the frame rate is 25fps (because 25×40ms = 1 second). If the delay is small, the GIF plays faster (frames are drawn very quickly), and if the delay is big, the GIF plays slower. Typically, GIFs have a frame rate of 10fps (or a 100ms delay) because they are simplified versions of a video. With this program, you can set a single delay value for all frames or a specific delay for specific frames. The "Default GIF speed" option will change the delay of all GIF frames at once. If at the same time you also activate the "Enable Custom Delays" option and specify individual delays for frames, then the delay of these frames will be overridden with the specified custom delay values. If the default delay value is skipped, the GIF preserves its initial speed. In this case, you can keep all the delays of the original GIF and change one or multiple delays of individual frames. When you load a GIF in the input, its information is displayed in the options area and you can see the total number of frames, the current frame number, the delay value of the current frame (in milliseconds), the total GIF duration, and a list of all delays of the original GIF. Using this information, you can set the new GIF speed and instantly see a preview of the new GIF at this speed. With the player option, you can turn the preview on or off, sync the input and output GIFs, and compare their speeds. You can check and verify the speed of the new GIF by looking at the delay information for the output GIF in the last section of the options. Note that some browsers limit the minimum delay to 15ms. In this case, the browser will play the GIF animation slower than expected. To download the new GIF, click Save as, followed by Download. Gifabulous!

In this example, we were sent a super slow GIF and we didn't have the patience to sit through it. It consists of 88 frames, each taking 120 milliseconds to play, and the entire GIF takes 10.56 seconds to view (88×120 = 10,560ms = 10.56s). To quickly see the entire GIF, we doubled its playback speed by decreasing the frame delay to 60 ms. Now it plays twice as fast and we can see the entire energetic happy dance in just 5.28 seconds. (GIF source: Giphy, created by: Toca Boca.)
In this example, we use the "Individual Frame Delays" option to slow down eight frames in the middle of the animation. First, we set the default GIF speed to 160ms. This value is applied to all frames. Then, for frames 3-10, we override the default speed and set the delay to 500ms. This way, we slow down the most important moment of the GIF and we can closely examine the moment when a water droplet hits the surface of the water. (Source: Pexels.)
In this example, we loaded a very fast GIF that zooms infinitely into the Koch star fractal. It's so fast that we can't even follow it. To make it watchable and understand the details of the fractal, we slowed it down to 50 milliseconds per frame (which equals 20 frames per second). The new GIF is now much slower and the entire GIF plays in 3 seconds. (GIF source: Giphy.)
In this example, we decided to make an animation of a freezing soap bubble a little more interesting and we set different delays for different frames. We skipped the default delay option (left it blank) so that the new speed was copied over from the original GIF. Then, we set a delay of 80ms for frames 10-20, a delay of 50ms for frames 21-32, a delay of 300ms for frames 33-35, and a delay of 800ms for the final 36th frame. As a result, we got an animation that speeds up in the middle (skipping boring parts) and slows down at the end, which lets us see how ice crystals form on the surface of a soap bubble.

The input GIF in this example was constructed by a completely unskilled GIF master. The delays of GIF frames are chaotic and take from 10 milliseconds to 1 second. Completely unprofessional! To make the GIF comfortable to watch, we normalize its frame rate and set the delay timeout for all frames to 200 milliseconds. Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle! (GIF source: Tenor.)
