Go to gif.joypaw.tech and upload your source file — MP4, MOV, WEBM, or PNG/JPG/WebP images.
In the settings panel, enter your target width in pixels. Common choices: 320px (small), 480px (standard), 640px (HD). Height scales automatically to keep the original aspect ratio.
Lower FPS = smaller file. For most GIFs, 12–15 FPS looks smooth. The quality setting controls color dithering — Medium is ideal for most content.
Click Convert to GIF, preview the result, and download. If the file size is still too large, lower the width or FPS and convert again — it's free and unlimited.
Combine width reduction + lower FPS for dramatic size cuts without noticeable quality loss.
The most effective approach is to reduce the output width. Halving the width reduces file size by roughly 75%. Also try lowering FPS from 24 to 12 (cuts size ~45%), shortening the clip duration, or switching from High to Medium quality. In GifPaw, set width to 480px, FPS to 12, and quality to Medium for a dramatic size reduction.
For Discord free users, stay under 8 MB. Use 480px wide, 15 FPS, and keep your GIF under 5 seconds. That combination reliably produces GIFs under 3 MB for typical content. Discord Nitro allows up to 50 MB, so you can use 640px and 24 FPS.
Reducing width does lower resolution, but at the sizes used for social media and chat (320–640px), the difference is rarely noticeable on screen. GIF's 256-color limit per frame causes more visible quality reduction than resizing itself. Use the High quality setting to minimize color banding even at smaller sizes.
Technically yes, but scaling a GIF up will make it look pixelated and blurry — GIF doesn't store more detail than the original resolution. Always scale down or use the original source material at the correct resolution.
