When this tool is useful
Making an existing GIF demonstration easier to follow or shortening a loop without changing its frame order.
How local processing works
The browser parses each source delay, calculates a scaled value, rounds and clamps it to the supported GIF centisecond range, fully composes disposal frames, and writes a new GIF with the original frame order and loop count where representable.
How to use it
- Prepare the source and limits: Keep an unchanged source and review the accepted format, dimensions, frame or page budget, and output choices. Making an existing GIF demonstration easier to follow or shortening a loop without changing its frame order.
- Process locally: Run the documented bounded operation in this browser and stop when the decoder reports an unsupported structure. The browser parses each source delay, calculates a scaled value, rounds and clamps it to the supported GIF centisecond range, fully composes disposal frames, and writes a new GIF with the original frame order and loop count where representable.
- Download and verify: Compare reported source and output durations, play several loops in each destination viewer, watch fast transitions and pauses, confirm frame count and order, and adjust the factor if browser delay clamping changes the intended rhythm.
Important limitations
GIF timing has centisecond precision and players often impose their own minimum delay, so the perceived speed is not exact and extremely fast frames can look different by browser. Re-encoding rebuilds palettes, dithering and binary transparency, does not preserve metadata, and does not synthesize intermediate motion frames.

Private by design
Your files stay in this browser. The tool does not upload the source or output to our servers.
