Change a GIF's speed

Make a GIF play twice as fast, half as slow, or anywhere in between. pixelpix rewrites the per-frame delays, so the change is baked into the file and plays the same everywhere.

Speeding a GIF up doesn't drop frames unless you ask it to — timing is adjusted, content preserved.

Speed up or slow down without dropping frames

Changing a GIF’s speed is really about changing how long each frame is shown. pixelpix rewrites those per-frame delays, so speeding a GIF up does not throw frames away — it just shows them faster — and slowing one down holds each frame longer. The change is baked into the file, so it plays at the new speed everywhere.

How it works

  1. Drop your GIF and open Speed.
  2. Drag the multiplier slider (1× is unchanged, 2× is double speed).
  3. Apply and download.

Like every pixelpix tool, this runs 100% in your browser: your file is never uploaded to a server, never leaves your device, and works even offline once the page has loaded.

Frequently asked questions

Does speeding up a GIF lose frames?
No. It shortens each frame’s display time, so all the original frames are still there — the animation simply plays faster.
How fast or slow can I go?
The multiplier covers a wide range in both directions; 1× is unchanged, 2× is double speed, 0.5× is half speed.
Will the new speed hold on other apps?
Yes. The frame delays are written into the GIF itself, so it plays at the adjusted speed in any viewer.
