This online utility lets you scale a GIF animation downward. You can choose how small the animation should become, and decide whether to soften or preserve pixel sharpness during the reduction. You can also play both animations in the preview to compare their real on-screen sizes. Created by GIF experts from team Browserling.

This is a browser-based program that reduces the dimensions of any GIF animation, whether it consists of multiple frames or is static. The tool focuses on making GIF files lighter, smaller, and more practical for everyday use. To use it, simply upload your GIF and enter a reduction percentage such as "50%", "25%", or "10%". The program then intelligently rescales the animation to the desired fraction while strictly preserving the original aspect ratio, preventing any stretching or distortion. For clarity, a factor of "80%" shrinks the GIF to four-fifths of its original size, while "50%" reduces both dimensions by half. A key feature of this tool is its pixel-smoothing option. It combines adjacent pixels to create smoother transitions at smaller scales, thereby preventing harsh blockiness. The tool also provides an interactive, synchronized preview of both the original and the downscaled GIF, along with important file properties such as the total frame count and dimension changes. If you ever need to enlarge a GIF image instead of reducing it, you can use the companion tool Upscale a GIF. Gifabulous!

In this example, we shrink a 20-frame nature animation to 60% of its original size. A 60% reduction means the output GIF becomes three-fifths of the initial dimensions, resulting in frames that measure 180×191 pixels each. Since this is a realistic nature image, we activate the anti-aliasing to soften pixels and preserve natural textures. (Source: Pexels.)
This example significantly minimizes a six-frame sprite animation of The Golden Slug from Metal Slug 3 Pachinko. The original GIF is very large, measuring 700×476 pixels, so we reduce it to 10% of its initial size. A 10% factor shrinks the GIF to one-tenth of both width and height, producing a compact version suitable for use as a small icon or UI element. Since this sprite relies on crisp pixel art, we keep smoothing disabled to preserve its classic sharp look. (Source: SNK.)
In this example, we scale down a static GIF featuring a bouquet of tulips in a fabric bag to 40% of its original size. The initial resolution of 525×700 pixels becomes 210×280 pixels after resizing. This substantial reduction (a 60% decrease in size) makes the file significantly lighter and faster to load on a web page. (Source: Pexels.)
