Open the color reduction tool and select your GIF. No signup or install required.
Pick a low, medium or high reduction preset. The live preview and file-size readout update automatically.
Compare the edited GIF with the original, or use edit history to undo a change.
When the colors and file size look right, download your GIF for free with no watermark.
Need another edit? Crop, resize, cut, change speed, remove frames or compress the GIF in the same editor.
A GIF stores every pixel as an entry in a color table capped at 256 colors. Cut the number of colors and each frame carries less data, so the file size drops.
Quality loss from color reduction appears first in gradients, as banding or dither patterns. Compare the reduced GIF side by side with your original and undo any step that goes too far.
Halving the colors on this page's sample GIF took it from 702kB to 477kB, a 32% drop. The preview reports the new file size after each change, so you optimize with real numbers.
Reduce the number of colors in the GIF palette to cut file size. Preview the result and adjust the count for each file.
When the palette alone isn't enough, cut frames, crop, resize, change speed or compress the same GIF in this editor. No second upload, and every tool sees your latest version.
Shrink a GIF's color palette without signing up or installing an app. The free plan adds no watermark.
Shrink the GIF palette, watch the smaller file size appear in the preview, then take the same file into frame removal, cropping or compression if you still need a lighter GIF.
