Sharing animated loops
Check frame playback, timing, and visible colors in the downloaded GIF. Complex or long animations may still be large.

Use cases for GIF compression
GIF optimization balances animation playback, palette detail, and download size.
Publishing low-color graphics
Simple GIF artwork can already be compact. Compare the output rather than expecting a fixed percentage reduction.
Choosing GIF compression settings
Lossless returns GIF unchanged. Balanced and Smallest file may change palette detail; inspect the result and use resize only when smaller dimensions are acceptable.
- Balanced
- A quick search for smaller files with good visual detail. Some quality loss is possible.
- Lossless
- Preserves decoded pixels and dimensions. JPEG and GIF remain unchanged. Other formats are rewritten only when exact checks pass; otherwise TinyImage keeps the original.
- Smallest file
- Tries more encodings and may reduce quality further. It can take longer. Compare the result before replacing your source.
Smart resize is optional and can reduce dimensions. Lossless keeps original dimensions. If a suitable compressed file is not smaller, TinyImage returns the original.
What to check before replacing your GIF
Same-format GIF compression preserves and verifies frame/page handling, including timing checks. Inspect the downloaded animation; compression does not add missing colors or recover detail.
Keep your source if profiles, layers, metadata, or archival fidelity matter. Pixel checks and page checks do not promise preservation of every application-specific feature.

Compress GIF imagesCompress GIF FAQ
Answers about GIF compression, image quality, and downloads.
Will compression keep my GIF animation?
Same-format GIF compression preserves and verifies frame/page handling, including timing checks. Inspect the downloaded animation; compression does not add missing colors or recover detail.
Why did my compressed GIF stay the same size?
An already-optimized image may not have a smaller suitable encoding. TinyImage keeps the original when the same-format candidate is not smaller; zero savings does not necessarily mean a failure.
Can I compress several GIF files together?
Yes. Upload up to 20 supported GIF files, choose settings before uploading, and download results individually or in a ZIP.
How long are downloads available?
Stored outputs use private temporary storage and signed download links that expire after 24 hours. Storage lifecycle cleanup follows.
