FAQ
Does this upload my GIF?
No. The compression flow is designed to run locally in your browser.
Can this make WhatsApp stickers?
No. This tool only outputs .gif files. WhatsApp stickers use WebP, so this page is for GIF compression only.
Why does a 256KB GIF look smaller or simpler?
256KB is very small for animation. Reaching it often requires fewer frames, fewer colors, or smaller dimensions.
