Quick answer

BatchSet crops animated GIFs free and entirely in the browser with gifsicle: the user drags and zooms a frame, optionally locked to 1:1, 4:3, 16:9 or 9:16, and the same area is cut from every frame. The timing and loop are kept and nothing is uploaded.

How to use the Crop GIF

Three quick steps — free, private, right in your browser.

1

Add a GIF

Drop a .gif file, or click to pick one. It plays inside the crop frame.

2

Frame the area

Drag to move, zoom in or out, and pick Original, 1:1, 4:3, 16:9 or 9:16. The size in pixels is shown as you go.

3

Crop and download

Every frame is cropped in your browser and you get one animated GIF back.

Frequently asked questions

Does cropping keep the animation?+

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

Is it free?+

Yes. No account and no watermark. The GIF is cropped on your own device.

Are my GIFs uploaded?+

No. Cropping runs in your browser and the file never leaves your device.

Can I crop a GIF to a square?+

Yes. Pick 1:1 and move the frame to the part you want. 4:3, 16:9 and 9:16 work the same way.

Does cropping lower the quality?+

No. Cropping only cuts pixels away and the colours of the pixels that stay are unchanged. The file usually gets smaller because there is less to store.

Can I crop several GIFs at once?+

This page does one GIF at a time, because each one needs its own frame. To shrink many GIFs, use the GIF resizer or compressor, which take a whole batch.
