Crop GIF
Crop an animated GIF for free — set an exact crop box in pixels or pick a 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:5 or 4:3 preset for the largest centred crop, and every frame is cropped with the timing, transparency and looping kept. Runs privately in your browser.
100% private — everything runs in your browser. Conversion happens on your device; nothing is uploaded.
Every frame is rebuilt exactly as the GIF displays it, edited, and re-encoded with the open-source gifenc library — transparency and looping are kept. Your GIF never leaves your device.

How do I crop a GIF to a square?
Click 1:1 — it picks the largest centred square — then nudge Left/Top if you want a different area, and click Crop GIF.
Does cropping reduce file size?
Usually, yes — fewer pixels per frame means a smaller GIF.
Does it keep transparency and looping?
Yes — transparent areas stay transparent and the GIF loops forever, like the original.
Is my GIF uploaded?
No. It's decoded, edited and re-encoded in your browser.
