How to Crop an Animated GIF Online
The crop window stays fixed while you move through the frame strip. That makes it easy to catch a subject that would drift outside the final GIF before you export it.
Verify every moment
Play the animation or click through frames while the crop stays locked in place.

GIF Cropper FAQ
Answers about crop coordinates, aspect ratios, frame timing, and browser privacy.
01How do I crop an animated GIF?
Upload, drop, or paste a GIF, then drag and resize the blue crop area. You can also enter exact X, Y, width, and height values before downloading the cropped animation.
02Does cropping apply to every GIF frame?
Yes. The same crop area is applied to every reconstructed frame, so the animation remains aligned from beginning to end.
03Can I crop a GIF to a fixed aspect ratio?
Yes. Choose square, landscape, widescreen, or portrait presets, or keep the crop area freeform for a custom size.
04Will the cropped GIF keep its animation speed?
Yes. Each frame keeps its original delay when GIF Frames creates the cropped GIF.
05Is my GIF uploaded anywhere?
No. Decoding, cropping, previewing, and GIF encoding happen locally in your browser.
