Resize a GIF

Scale a GIF to the exact width or height you need — for a chat app, a README, an email signature, anywhere with a size limit.

Lock the aspect ratio so nothing stretches, choose the resampling method, and downscale for a big file-size saving (pixelpix never upscales quality out of thin air).

Scale a GIF to fit anywhere

Chat apps, README files, email signatures and forums all have size expectations, and a GIF that is too large gets rejected or loads slowly. Resizing to the exact dimensions you need is the direct fix, and downscaling is also a big file-size saving because there are fewer pixels per frame.

Lock the aspect ratio and the second dimension follows automatically so nothing stretches. pixelpix never upscales quality out of thin air — enlarging a small GIF just scales the existing pixels, so downscaling is where the real wins are.

How it works

1. Drop your GIF and open Resize.
2. Type a width or height — the other side follows automatically.
3. Apply and download the resized GIF.

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

Will resizing blur my GIF?

Downscaling stays sharp with quality resampling. Upscaling a small GIF can look soft, because there is no extra detail to invent — that is true of any resizer.

Can I set an exact width in pixels?

Yes. Type a width or height and, with the aspect lock on, the other dimension is calculated for you.

Does resizing make the file smaller?

Downscaling usually does, sometimes dramatically, because every frame has fewer pixels to store.
