Your images are processed locally in your browser and are not uploaded.
Select the part of the GIF you want to keep — freely or with a fixed aspect ratio like 1:1 for profile pictures or 16:9 for videos. The same area is cut from every frame, so the animation plays exactly as before, only tighter. The GIF is processed entirely in your browser.

Frequently asked questions
Does cropping change the animation speed?
No. Frames, delays and looping stay exactly the same.
Can I crop a GIF into a circle?
GIF pixels are either fully transparent or fully opaque, so round edges look jagged. Crop to a square instead, or use Circle Crop to get a PNG with smooth edges.
Is it free?
Yes. Browser tools on PhotoTools are free, unlimited and work without an account.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your images never leave your device, and nothing is stored.
