How to resize a GIF and keep the important details

GIF Toolbox · HSHS Tech (Hushan Hushan (Shenzhen) Technology Co., Ltd.)

Use GIF Toolbox to change GIF pixel dimensions, or crop unused areas before scaling. These tools run locally on Android, iOS, and HarmonyOS. Pixel dimensions and file size in KB are different, so inspect the actual export as well.

Task Resize, crop, and scale GIFs
Platform Android, iOS, HarmonyOS
Use with GIF compression

Start with the target size

Decide whether the GIF is for chat, social posting, an article, or a demo before choosing dimensions and crop ratio.

Crop before scaling

Removing empty edges before resizing often keeps the subject clearer than shrinking the full frame.

Watch file size too

Dimensions matter, but duration, frame rate, and color complexity also affect GIF size.
