Trim a GIF

The GIF Trimmer shortens an animated GIF by keeping only the frames between a start and end point you choose. Two sliders set the first and last frame, previews show exactly which frames you’re keeping, and the new duration is calculated as you go. Frame timing inside the kept range is unchanged.

Trimming for a perfect loop

The most satisfying GIFs loop seamlessly — the last frame flows straight back into the first. Trim to a point where the motion returns to where it started (a swing at its peak, a character back in place). If no such point exists, a boomerang loops perfectly by playing forward then backward.

Trimming also cuts file size directly: every frame you remove is data you don’t ship. Combine with the GIF compressor for big savings.

Trim, split or speed up?

To remove a section from the middle, split the GIF with the GIF Splitter and rebuild it with Images to GIF. To keep everything but make it shorter, use the GIF Speed Changer. And if you’re starting from a video, set the start and end points in Video to GIF instead.

GIF Trimmer FAQ

How do I trim a GIF?

Upload it to the GIF Trimmer, move the Start and End sliders to the frames you want to keep, then click Trim GIF.

Can I cut out a section from the middle?

The trimmer keeps one continuous range. To remove a middle section, split the GIF into frames and rebuild it without the unwanted ones.

Does trimming change the speed?

No. Frames inside the kept range keep their original delays.

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.
