Will animated GIFs stay animated?

Yes. Pixo keeps the frame count, order, and timing while reducing colors in each frame.

Does this upload my GIF?

No. GIF parsing, frame processing, and export all run locally in your browser.

Why did my GIF not get smaller?

Some GIFs are already optimized. When the new file would be larger, Pixo keeps the original and tells you it was already optimized.

Compress GIF images online, for free

Drop a static or animated GIF and Pixo reduces its color palette frame by frame in your browser. Timing and frame order stay intact, and your file never leaves your device.

How it works

01Drop one or more GIF files into the box above.
02Click "Compress" — Pixo rebuilds each frame with a smaller color palette.
03Open a result’s "Adjust" panel to try fewer colors when you need a smaller GIF.
04Download each result, or grab all of them at once as a ZIP.

Tips for better results

GIF is best for simple animation, icons, and short loops. Long video-like GIFs can still stay large even after compression.
Lower color counts make GIFs smaller, but gradients and photos may show banding.
If the smart default cannot make a GIF smaller, Pixo keeps the original instead of giving you a larger file.
