How GIF speed works
Each frame of a GIF has its own delay, stored in hundredths of a second. Changing the speed means multiplying every delay: at 2× each frame is shown for half as long, at 0.5× for twice as long. The frames themselves are not changed, so quality stays the same.
Why very fast GIFs can look slow
Browsers and most apps treat frame delays below 0.02 s as 0.1 s, so a GIF that is “too fast” actually plays slower. This speed changer prevents that: if a delay would drop below 0.02 s, the frame is merged with the next one, keeping the speed you chose. It also means a sped-up GIF often has fewer frames and a smaller file.
Want to play it backwards as well? Use Reverse GIF. Making a GIF from a video? The video to GIF converter has slow-motion and timelapse speeds too.
More GIF editor tools
You can also add text to a GIF, compress a GIF, crop a GIF, reverse a GIF, extract GIF frames, or start from a clip with the video to GIF converter.
GIF speed changer – FAQ
How do I speed up a GIF?
Upload the GIF, choose 1.25×, 1.5×, 2×, 3× or 4× in Speed, check the preview and click “Change speed” to download it.
How do I slow down a GIF?
Choose 0.75×, 0.5× or 0.25× in Speed. Each frame is shown longer, giving a slow-motion effect.
Does changing the speed reduce the GIF quality?
No. The frames stay the same; only the time each one is shown changes.
Why does my sped-up GIF have fewer frames?
Browsers slow down frames shorter than 0.02 s. To keep the speed you chose, very short frames are merged with the next frame, which also makes the file smaller.
What is the fastest a GIF can play?
About 50 frames per second (0.02 s per frame). Faster delays are not reliably supported by browsers and apps.
Is this GIF speed changer free?
Yes. It is 100% free with no watermark, no sign-up and no daily limit.
Can I change GIF speed on my phone?
Yes. Open this page in Safari or Chrome on your iPhone or Android phone, tap “Choose GIF”, edit it and tap “Download GIF” or “Share / Save to Photos”. On a computer you can also click “Upload from phone” and scan the QR code to send a GIF from your phone.
Is my GIF uploaded to a server?
No. Your GIF is opened and edited entirely inside your browser, so it never leaves your device. The only exception is the optional “Upload from phone” QR feature: the file you send is held temporarily so your computer can pick it up, then deleted as soon as it is received (anything left over is purged automatically within 24 hours).
Is there a size limit?
There is no upload limit because nothing is uploaded; the practical limit is your device memory. Most GIFs up to a few hundred frames work fine. Very long, very large GIFs (for example 1000 frames at 1080p) may be too big for a phone browser.
