Why Are GIFs So Big?
GIFs store every frame as a separate image, which can quickly add up. Here are 5 ways to keep your file sizes under control using WebP to GIF Ultimate.
1. Use "Smart Frame Skip"
You don't always need every single frame. Our "Smart Frame Skip" feature allows you to drop every 2nd or 3rd frame. This can cut your file size in half with barely noticeable differences in smoothness.
2. Reduce Dimensions
Do you really need a 1080p GIF? Scaling your image down by 50% can reduce the file size by 75%. Use the "Scale" slider to find the sweet spot.
3. Lower the Quality
Slightly reducing the color quality can save a lot of bytes. Our tool lets you adjust the quality slider to balance clarity and size.
4. Cut the Duration
Trim unnecessary parts from the beginning or end of your animation before converting.
5. Choose a Simple Background
If your animation has transparency, choosing a solid color background (like white or black) instead of keeping it transparent can sometimes help with compression, depending on the usage.
