Import a GIF
Capability detection determines whether the browser can decode every frame locally.
ImgIng / Compress GIFs and edit every frame locally
GIF · ANIMATION STUDIOCompress GIFs and edit every frame locally
ImgIng reads the original frame delays and loop settings, then decodes, optimizes and re-encodes locally. You can also edit individual frames or switch to a more efficient animation format.

Finish in three steps
Confirm important settings before export; the processing location is always disclosed.
Tune size, quality and timing
Resize, reduce frames, change speed, loops or individual frame duration.
Choose an animation format
Use GIF for reach, WebP for a practical size/quality balance, or APNG for full-colour alpha.
Why are some GIFs difficult to shrink?
GIF is limited to 256 colours, but dimensions, frame count, changed regions and dithering all affect size. A heavily optimized GIF may need resizing, frame reduction or a different format to become meaningfully smaller.
GIF, animated WebP or APNG?
GIF wins on universal playback. Animated WebP is usually the best modern-web balance. APNG preserves full colour and alpha for high-fidelity stickers. ImgIng lets the same frames drive different outputs instead of pretending one format fits every use.

Frequently asked questions
These visible answers match the current product behaviour and structured data.
Will GIF compression change playback speed?
Not by default. ImgIng reads and preserves original frame delays unless you explicitly change speed or frame timing.
Can I create a GIF from multiple images?
Yes. Import multiple images, drag to reorder them, set per-frame duration, loop and playback direction.
Are animations processed locally?
In supported browsers, GIF, APNG and animated WebP decoding and encoding happen locally. The interface clearly reports missing capabilities.
