Compress GIF Under 200KB — Free Online

Need a GIF file under 200KB — for an email attachment, a form upload limit, or a faster-loading web page? GIF files are re-encoded as JPEG internally to reach small target sizes, since JPEG compresses photographic content more efficiently than other formats. Upload your image, drag the quality slider, and download once it's small enough.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I compress a GIF to under 200KB?+
Upload your GIF image to the free compressor, then drag the quality slider down until the displayed file size is under 200KB. Lower quality means a smaller file but more visible compression artifacts.
Why is my GIF still large after compressing?+
Very large or highly detailed images may need a lower quality setting, or resizing the image dimensions first, to reach a small target size like 200KB.
Does this upload my image to a server?+
No. Compression runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API — your image never leaves your device.
