What is GIF Compression?
There are practices to reduce the size of a file, without compromising visual quality, and that is where GIF compression comes in.
- 01/
What is sought in this process is to eliminate redundant or unnecessary data, and in some cases, to limit some colors. That is when algorithms are applied to reduce GIF size.
- 02/
The use of these algorithms applied to these types of files is known as optimizers.
- 03/
Each file processed with rescaling tools provides greater digital efficiency.
Why Compress a GIF?
Compress GIF files can mean improved digital performance, since less weight means more space and less loading time.
This also means reducing the size of the file, although this tool makes this possible without sacrificing quality.
A GIF optimizer ensures this preservation of quality while minimizing unnecessary data usage.
What this means is that this efficient compression exponentially improves user experience and sharing. The benefits include: reduced storage costs and file optimization, ideal for users who do not want to sacrifice quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
Need help? Our FAQ covers GIF compression basics.
-
Should I compress screenshots with this tool?
Yes, screenshots are often saved as large PNG files. Using this tool can dramatically reduce their file size, making them much easier to share in emails, documents, or support tickets.
-
How is compressing a PNG different from compressing a JPG?
JPG compression is designed for photos and works by discarding subtle detail. PNG compression is best for graphics, logos, and screenshots; it reduces file size by reducing the number of colours, which is very effective for images with flat areas of colour.
-
Is my animated PNG (APNG) file supported?
This tool is designed for static PNG files. Compressing animated PNGs (APNGs) requires a different process, and uploading one may result in an error or only the first frame being compressed.
-
Why did the file size not change very much?
If your PNG was already highly optimized, was very small, or used a limited colour palette (like a simple black and white icon), there may be very little data left to remove. In these cases, the reduction in file size will be minimal.
-
What happens to an embedded sRGB colour profile chunk?
To save space, the sRGB chunk will be stripped. This is considered because sRGB is the default expected colour space for images on the web.
-
Does the tool clean up "dirty alpha" in my PNG?
Yes, this is a common optimization. If your image has fully transparent pixels that still contain RGB data (dirty alpha), the tool will zero out this hidden data, which can improve the efficiency of the DEFLATE compression stage.
