How can I reduce GIF file size?
Use the compression presets (Light, Medium, Heavy), lower the output resolution, reduce the FPS, or trim the clip shorter. Picsart's file size preview shows the estimated output before you convert.
Can I compress an existing GIF?
Yes. Drop an existing GIF into the tool and use the same compression controls - color reduction, resolution, and FPS adjustment - to make the GIF smaller.
