How it works

Crop an animated GIF in three steps

Keep the part of the animation you need and export it at the right size.

Upload an animated GIF.

Drag the crop area or enter exact coordinates, then set an output width or height.

Crop the GIF and download the resized animation.

Common GIF crop scenarios

Crop GIFs for sharing, profiles, and exact layouts

Choose a crop ratio for the destination, then set the export size you need. The selected area is applied to every frame, so you can crop a GIF without losing its animation.

Crop GIF for Discord

Remove empty edges and keep the important motion in view before sharing the GIF in a Discord message or community.

Crop GIF for a profile picture

Start with a 1:1 crop and place the face, logo, or main subject near the center for a square profile image.

Crop GIF to 1:1 or 16:9

Choose a square 1:1 crop for compact layouts or 16:9 for a wide frame, then refine the exact image area.

Crop GIF for a sticker or emoji

Tighten the crop around the animated subject to remove unused background space before exporting a sticker-style GIF.

Crop GIF and resize to exact dimensions

Crop first, then enter a precise output width or height. With the ratio locked, the other dimension updates automatically.

Crop GIF without losing animation

The same crop is used on every frame, so the exported GIF keeps its original animated sequence rather than becoming a still image.

Crop every animation frame

The same selected area is applied to every GIF frame, so the animation continues after export.

Set the output size separately

Choose what to keep first, then enter a width or height. The other dimension follows the crop ratio.

Use familiar crop ratios

Start with free crop, 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, or 3:2 and refine the exact pixel area.

FAQ

GIF crop questions

Details about cropping animated GIF images.

Will cropping remove the animation?

No. The selected image area is applied to each frame and the exported file remains an animated GIF.

Can I set the width or height after cropping?

Yes. Enter either output dimension and the other dimension is calculated from the crop area to avoid stretching.

Is cropping different from trimming a GIF?

Yes. Cropping removes pixels around the image area. It does not remove time or frames from the animation.

Will the cropped GIF always be smaller?

Not always. Cropping reduces pixels, but the final size also depends on animation frames, colors, transparency, and GIF re-encoding.
