GIF Resizer
Resize an animated GIF by width, percent or exact size while keeping every frame and the loop. Your files are never uploaded to our servers. ToolkitPoint processes them on your own computer, so confidential documents stay with you.

How to use GIF Resizer
- Choose an animated .gif file; its current pixel dimensions are shown and half size is suggested.
- Resize by width (height follows automatically), by percentage, or to an exact width and height.
- Press the resize button to scale every frame.
- Preview the resized animation and download it.
Worked example
A 960 x 540 animation resized by width to 480 px becomes 480 x 270 with every frame and frame delay kept, and is saved as name-480x270.gif.
When to use this tool
- Scaling an animated clip for a Discord or Slack emoji slot, a forum signature or an avatar.
- Shrinking a wide screen-recording loop so it fits cleanly inside documentation.
Important limitations
Enlarging a GIF cannot add detail. Very large GIFs take longer because every frame is re-encoded.
Frequently asked questions
Does resizing keep the animation?
Yes. Every frame is scaled in order and re-encoded with a fresh 256-color palette while preserving the loop timing.
Will an exact width and height stretch the image?
It can. Exact size ignores the original aspect ratio, which is useful for fixed slots such as custom emoji (for example 128 x 128) but distorts the frame if the ratio differs. Use Width mode to keep proportions.
Can I make an animation bigger?
Yes, up to 400 percent, but enlarging cannot add new detail, so the result looks softer.
Does it make the file smaller?
Usually, when you shrink the pixel dimensions. To cut the byte size further without changing dimensions, use the dedicated compressor.
Is anything uploaded?
No. Frame scaling and palette generation run locally in your browser with FFmpeg.
