Need to cut a GIF down to just the good part, or remove an awkward border? You can crop an animated GIF online in seconds — and the animation stays perfectly intact.
How to crop a GIF
- Open the free Crop tool.
- Upload your GIF.
- Drag the selection box over the area you want to keep (or type exact crop dimensions).
- Preview and download.
Why the animation doesn’t break
The same crop is applied to every frame, so your GIF keeps playing smoothly at the new size — no jumping or misalignment.
Handy next steps
After cropping, you can resize to shrink the file further, or convert to WebP for a much smaller version.
FAQ
Can I crop a GIF without losing quality?
Yes — cropping only removes pixels outside your selection; the kept area is untouched.
