Question 1

Will cropping keep the animation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The same area is cut from every frame, and the frame timing and loop setting are kept, so the GIF plays exactly like before.

Question 2

How do I crop a GIF to a square?

Accepted Answer

Pick 1:1 under Aspect ratio. The largest centered square is selected; drag on the image to move or redraw it, then crop.

Question 3

Does cropping make the file smaller?

Accepted Answer

Usually. Fewer pixels per frame means less data, so the file shrinks roughly in proportion to the area you cut away. For a specific size limit, use the GIF compressor afterwards.

Question 4

Can I enter exact pixel values?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Type X and Y for the top-left corner and the width and height of the area. The values are kept inside the GIF's canvas.

Question 5

Is my GIF uploaded?

Accepted Answer

No. Cropping runs on your device with gifsicle compiled to WebAssembly, so the file never leaves your browser.
