Apply filters to a GIF

GIF Filters applies a colour filter to every frame of an animated GIF — Grayscale, Sepia, Vintage, Noir, Faded, Warm, Cool, Vivid or Invert — and lets you fine-tune brightness, contrast, saturation and hue on top. A live preview shows the result on the first frame, and the animation’s timing is untouched.

How to use GIF Filters

  3. 03

    Apply

    Click Apply filter and download.

Filters can make GIFs smaller

A grayscale GIF needs only shades of grey, so each frame’s 256-colour palette goes much further — gradients look smoother and files often shrink. Faded and Noir looks reduce colour variety too. Vivid and Warm push colours apart, which can increase banding on photographic content; pair them with moderate sizes.

All filters are applied as a colour matrix to each pixel, which keeps the effect identical on every frame — no flicker between frames.

More creative effects

For animated colour changes, try Rainbow GIF. To hide or soften part of the image, use Blur GIF. To replace a background, use the GIF background remover, and to label the result, add text.

GIF Filters FAQ

How do I make a GIF black and white?

Upload the GIF, choose the Grayscale (or Noir) filter and click Apply filter.

Can I adjust brightness and contrast of a GIF?

Yes. Use the Brightness and Contrast sliders on their own (with the Original preset) or on top of any filter.

Do filters affect the animation speed?

No. Only colours change; every frame keeps its original timing.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. GifRush processes everything locally in your browser using JavaScript, Canvas, Web Workers and WebCodecs. Your files never leave your device, and closing the tab discards them.
