How to crop a GIF
Cropping changes the frame dimensions, not the animation duration.
- 01
Choose one GIF
Select an animated or static GIF and let Tanumi check its dimensions and frames.

Crop and download
Tanumi applies the rectangle to every frame and creates a new animated GIF locally.
One rectangle across the whole loop
A GIF cropper removes pixels from the edges of every frame. It does not shorten the timeline or pick only the first image.
- Remove empty margins around a screen recording.
- Center a reaction or character in a square avatar.
- Reframe an animation for a banner or content card.
What the crop changes
The output is rebuilt as a GIF, so these details matter.
Frame areaThe selected rectangle is kept on every frame
TimingOriginal frame delays are preserved
LoopThe original repeat behavior is preserved
ColorsFrames are re-quantized to the GIF palette
File sizeOften smaller, but re-encoding can vary
GIF cropping questions
Will cropping remove the GIF animation?
No. Tanumi applies the same crop to every frame and exports another animated GIF with the original timing and loop behavior.
Is cropping the same as trimming a GIF?
No. Cropping changes the visible width and height. Trimming removes time or frames from the beginning or end.
Can I crop a GIF to a square?
Yes. Choose the 1:1 ratio, move the square over the area to keep, and adjust its size before processing.
Why can the colors change slightly?
GIF uses a limited palette. Rebuilding the animation requires color quantization, so gradients and photographic frames may shift slightly.
Does Tanumi upload the GIF?
No. Decoding, cropping and encoding happen locally in your browser.
