Crop GIF
Crop an animated GIF to the area that matters while every frame keeps moving. Drag a selection on the first frame or type exact pixel coordinates, pick a preset aspect ratio such as 1:1 for profile images, and download the trimmed animation.

Frequently asked questions
Does cropping make the GIF file smaller?
Usually yes, because fewer pixels are stored per frame. For an even smaller file, follow up with the GIF Compressor.
Can I crop different areas on different frames?
No. A GIF crop uses one rectangle for the whole animation so the motion does not jump.
Is my GIF uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is decoded and re-encoded in your browser and never leaves your device.
