Crop an animated GIF while keeping every frame and the animation. Draw a crop box, adjust it, and download your cropped GIF — all in your browser.
Animated or static GIF files
Most crop tools flatten a GIF to a single frame. This one crops every frame identically and re-encodes the animation so your GIF keeps moving — just tighter framed.
Animated GIFs are often captured larger than they need to be. A screen recording grabs the whole desktop when only one window matters, a reaction GIF drags distracting background along with it, and a meme carries dead space around the punchline. Cropping cuts every frame to the same rectangle while keeping the original frame delays, so the motion and timing of your GIF stay exactly as they were — only the framing changes.
Cropping is also the fastest way to shrink a GIF. Because a GIF stores pixel data for every single frame, removing unwanted areas reduces each frame at once — trimming half the canvas can cut the file size dramatically. That matters anywhere GIFs face upload limits, such as chat apps, forums and email signatures.
Everything you need to know about cropping GIFs.
Yes. Every frame is cropped to the same area and the animation is fully preserved.
No. Cropping and re-encoding both run in your browser.
Completely free, with no watermark and no signup.
Yes. Type the width and height into the Crop W and Crop H fields, then drag the box on the preview to position it. The values update live as you drag.
Usually, yes. Cropping removes pixels from every frame, so there is less image data to store. Lowering the quality slider shrinks the file further, while the best setting keeps colors closest to the original.
Yes. A static GIF is treated as a one-frame animation: the frame is cropped and saved as a GIF, exactly like an animated file.
