This online utility lets you recolor static and animated GIFs using web-safe, HTML, CSS, safest-web, and grayscale palettes. You can choose how colors are matched and increase the variety of palette colors used in the result. You can also apply one of nine dithering methods and preview the converted animation frame by frame. Created by GIF experts from team Browserling.

This online tool converts static and animated GIFs to browser-friendly color palettes. After you load a GIF, every frame is recolored using the palette you select while keeping the animation size, timing, looping, and transparency unchanged. You can choose from several browser-related color palettes. The classic Web Safe set is made up of 216 colors based on a limited selection of RGB channel values. It was designed at a time when browsers and computers often worked with restricted color capabilities, helping the same graphics appear more consistently on different systems. Modern screens no longer depend on web-safe colors, but this palette is still useful for giving GIFs a deliberately limited, old-web aesthetic. The Basic HTML palette provides the 16 original HTML color names, while the Extended HTML palette offers 140 named shades. The CSS palette has 141 named colors, with RebeccaPurple added to the extended HTML collection. For a stricter color limit, you can switch to Safest Web, a compact set of 22 colors, or use one of several grayscale palettes ranging from 256 gray shades down to just black and white. The tool can match original colors either by comparing their RGB values or by using visual color similarity. If you want a more varied result, you can increase palette variety so the converter draws on a broader portion of the chosen color set. You can also apply dithering, which mixes available palette colors in small pixel patterns to imitate shades that are not part of the palette. The dithering control includes nine different methods, and you can switch the method in the options to produce different visual results. The preview section lets you play the original and converted GIFs together or pause both on the same frame for a closer comparison. Gifabulous!

In this example, we convert an animated lotus to the 216-color web-safe palette, a fixed RGB color cube once used to keep graphics consistent across 8-bit computer displays and early browsers. We match pixels by direct RGB channel distance, giving the moving bud crisp green-and-cream facets and turning the blue background gradient into distinct retro color bands. (Source: Vecteezy.com.)
This example applies the 16 Basic HTML Colors, the original named color set shared by early web graphics, to an animated Neo-Ridley sprite. We enable the entire palette and use RGB-distance matching, giving the creature a blue, cyan, black, and pink base with flashing accents that complement the GIF's old-console pixel-art character.

In this example, we reduce a dog GIF to four gray levels, the same 2-bit tonal range associated with early monochrome computer and handheld graphics. We use visual color distance to retain important lightness differences, then apply Two-row Sierra dithering so the dog's curls, eyes, and wooden sign lettering remain recognizable through fine pixel patterns.
