Question 1

Will resizing keep the animation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every frame is resized and the frame timing and loop setting are kept, so the GIF plays exactly like before, just at the new size.

Question 2

Does making a GIF smaller reduce its file size?

Accepted Answer

Usually by a lot. Halving the width and height leaves a quarter of the pixels, which often cuts the file size by 60–75%. For a specific size limit, use the GIF compressor.

Question 3

Can I resize to an exact size like 128×128?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Turn off the aspect-ratio lock and type both numbers. The image is stretched to fit, so crop it first if the shape differs a lot.

Question 4

What size should a Discord emoji or avatar GIF be?

Accepted Answer

Discord emoji are shown at up to 128×128 px and must be under 256 KB. Avatars are shown as a circle, so a square GIF of 128–512 px works best.

Question 5

Is my GIF uploaded?

Accepted Answer

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