How do I compress a GIF to 200 KB?

Drop the GIF onto the compressor above. The 200 KB target is already set, so just click Compress and download the result.

Will the file be exactly 200 KB?

It aims to land at or just under 200 KB. 200 KB here means 200,000 bytes, so it also fits sites that count 1 KB as 1,024 bytes.

How much quality will I lose at 200 KB?

Around 200 KB, a photo can stay large enough to fill a content column on a web page while still loading quickly. To fit 200 KB, an animated GIF loses colours, frames and dimensions together. If the destination accepts video, an MP4 of the same clip fits far more into 200 KB.

My GIF is already smaller than 200 KB. What now?

Then it already fits, and compressing it further would only cost quality. Upload it as it is, or pick a smaller target if you need it smaller still.

What if my GIF can't get down to 200 KB?

Very large or detailed images are scaled down further to reach 200 KB. If the result is too small, pick a larger target.

What is 200 KB typically needed for?

Common reasons: images inside blog posts and articles; product and marketplace listing photos; images in email newsletters. Limits vary by site, so check the exact number where you're uploading.

Yes. It's compressed inside your browser and never uploaded.

What fits in 200 KB

Animated GIFs store every frame, so 200 KB has to cover the whole animation.

Animation	Roughly fits	Notes
Still image or sticker	≈ 890 × 890 px	Single frame
3-second loop, 10 fps	≈ 160 × 110 px	30 frames
10-second clip, 10 fps	≈ 90 × 60 px	100 frames; consider MP4

Rough guide. Simple animations with flat colours fit far more than filmed footage.

What 200 KB is typically for

Images inside blog posts and articles
Product and marketplace listing photos
Images in email newsletters

Limits vary by site and change over time; check the exact number where you're uploading.

How GIF gets smaller
