WHY USE THIS TOOL

Compress an Animated GIF

Choose a quality level to reduce the GIF color palette. VideoHop keeps the original dimensions and animation sequence while targeting a smaller file.

High quality

Uses a larger optimized palette for stronger color fidelity with lighter compression.

Balanced

Uses a 128-color optimized palette for a practical balance between visual quality and file size.

Smaller file

Uses a 64-color optimized palette for more aggressive size reduction.
