What GIF Resizer does
Resize an animated GIF by width, percent or exact size while keeping every frame and the loop.
The browser decodes the image and performs the change on a Canvas. ToolkitPoint does not receive the pixels. For GIF Resizer, the operation is specifically to resize an animated GIF by width, percent or exact size while keeping every frame and the loop.
Worked example
A 960 x 540 GIF resized by width to 480 px becomes 480 x 270 with every frame kept, and is saved as name-480x270.gif.
When GIF Resizer is the right tool
- Resizing a GIF for a Discord or Slack emoji slot, a forum signature or an avatar.
- Shrinking a screen-recording GIF for documentation.

Frequently asked questions
Does resizing keep the animation?
Yes. Every frame is scaled and the GIF is re-encoded with a fresh 256-color palette, and it loops forever.
Will an exact width and height stretch the GIF?
It can. Exact size ignores the aspect ratio, which is useful for fixed slots such as emoji (for example 128 x 128) but distorts the image if the ratio differs. Use Width to keep proportions.
Can I make a GIF bigger?
Yes, up to 400 percent, but enlarging cannot add detail, so the result looks softer.
Does it make the file smaller?
Usually, when you shrink the dimensions. To cut the size further without resizing, use the GIF compressor.
Is anything uploaded?
No. The GIF is processed in your browser with FFmpeg.
