Frequently Asked Questions

Can I crop different areas on different frames?

No, the same rectangle is applied to every frame, which keeps the animation steady.

How do I make a square GIF?

Choose the 1:1 aspect ratio and move the box over the part you want.

Does cropping reduce the file size?

Usually yes, because fewer pixels are stored per frame.

Is my GIF uploaded?

No. Cropping happens in your browser.
