Why it's better

Compressing a GIF is easy and free

Motionbox is the easiest and best tool to compress GIFs. Platforms like Twitter limit the size of GIF files you can upload to around 15MB. Some GIFs that showcase longer product based animations, longer ADs, or may have started out as large files can be hard to upload. Motionbox is here to help you share that GIF online with our easy to use GIF compressor. You can simply upload, edit (if desired), and export as a smaller more sharable version that is compressed for speed while still capturing the humor or information you would like to share online.

How to compress GIFs online

Create a new video

Once you've created your account, simply go ahead and create a new video, or use one of our templates. You can edit the large GIF file, or you can paste a YouTube url in the media modal and turn it into a GIF then compress it, open it by pressing the plus icon on the timeline.

Edit the GIF

If you only want to compress it, then upload your GIF file, select the dimensions you would like to use and thats it. If you want to do more to the GIF, you can trim it, extend the duration, add text, add audio, convert it to an MP4, and anything you would expect from a video editing software.

Export

Once you've gotten the GIF perfect, simple press the blue export button. You will be prompted with settings to export your GIF. In order to compress it, reduce the resolution to under 4k and under 1080p. It's unlikely you will need HD resolution for GIFs especially if you want to optimize for compression and size. Also reduce the quality to get even further compression. Press export and wait a few seconds, you GIF will be ready to be shared online.
