Compress GIF to 256KB

Compress a GIF down to 256KB for small chat embeds or sticker-style GIF use. This tool only outputs GIF files, so it does not create WebP stickers or change formats.

Built for 256KB GIFs

Start from the upload limit, then adjust only when the result needs it.

Direct size control

Start from a specific KB or MB target and see whether the compressed GIF lands below it.

Clear quality trade-offs

Strict targets may require fewer colors, smaller dimensions, or fewer frames. The tool reports the result.

Private by default

Compression runs in your browser, so the source GIF does not need to be uploaded to a server.

Frequently asked

Does this upload my GIF?
No. The compression flow is designed to run locally in your browser.
Can this make WhatsApp stickers?
No. This tool only outputs .gif files. WhatsApp stickers use WebP, so this page is for GIF compression only.
Why does a 256KB GIF look smaller or simpler?
256KB is very small for animation. Reaching it often requires fewer frames, fewer colors, or smaller dimensions.
