Resize an animated GIF

Image editor

Make any photo square, remove one-colour backgrounds and borders, or crop images and animated GIFs into shapes (heart, star, circle…). Everything is processed in your browser: nothing is uploaded to any server.

Borderless image

Automatic two-step process: the image is made square by padding it with a white border and, at the same time, a version with that border removed (transparent) is generated. Only the colour touching the edges is removed; the inside is untouched even if it contains white.

#ffffff

If some border remains, raise the tolerance; if it eats into the image, lower it.

Square image

Turn a rectangular image into a square without distorting it: blurred background, solid colour, stretched or cropped. Ideal for xat avatars, profiles and thumbnails.

Preview

The preview is the real result at the chosen output size. Rescaling uses step-down reduction so it does not look blurry or pixelated.

Upload an animated GIF, type the width or height (the other is computed) or a percentage, choose what to do if the aspect ratio does not match and download. Rescaling is done in steps so it does not look blurry or pixelated; animated GIFs get every frame resized and keep their animation.

Frequently asked questions

How do I resize an animated GIF without distortion?+

Type only the width (or only the height) with “Keep aspect ratio” on, or pick “Keep original aspect ratio” as the method: the image fits inside the given size without stretching.

Can I shrink by a percentage?+

Yes: type e.g. 50 in Percentage and width and height are computed automatically.

Does it work with animated GIFs?+

Yes. Every frame is resized and the GIF is re-encoded with a palette per frame, so it keeps colours and speed.
