If your source GIF is wider, resize width to 240 with lock ratio on \u2014 the height will adjust automatically. Then use the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/gifneo.net\/crop-gif.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Crop GIF<\/a>&nbsp;tool to trim to a perfect square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GIF for Web Pages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Web GIFs should match their display width. A GIF shown at 600px wide in your article doesn&#8217;t need to be 1920px. Resize to 600px wide (lock ratio on) and the file shrinks dramatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GIF for Social Media<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Twitter\/X post image: max 1600\u00d7900 \u2014 resize to 1200\u00d7675 for optimal quality<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Instagram story: 1080\u00d71920 \u2014 resize and crop<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>WeChat sticker: 240\u00d7240 \u2014 resize and crop to square<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Discord emoji: 128\u00d7128 \u2014 resize down small<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Upscaling Small GIFs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Need a 100\u00d7100 GIF to fill a 300\u00d7300 space? Set scale to 300%. Note: upscaling GIFs doesn&#8217;t add detail \u2014 it stretches existing pixels. The result will look softer or pixelated depending on the interpolation method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will resizing affect GIF animation?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. GifNeo processes every frame of the GIF. Frame count, loop behavior, and frame delays all stay exactly the same. Only the pixel dimensions change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does the aspect ratio lock actually work?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. When &#8220;Lock aspect ratio&#8221; is checked, changing the width automatically calculates the correct height (and vice versa). This prevents your GIF from looking stretched or squished. Uncheck it only if you intentionally want to change the proportions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I make a GIF bigger with this tool?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. The scale slider goes up to 200%, and you can manually enter any width\/height up to 2000px. Keep in mind that upscaling doesn&#8217;t add detail \u2014 it enlarges existing pixels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s the maximum size I can resize to?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2000\u00d72000 pixels. For most use cases this is more than enough. If you need larger dimensions, consider converting to video format first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does resizing reduce file size?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Downscaling almost always reduces file size significantly. A 1920\u00d71080 GIF resized to 480\u00d7270 typically becomes 70\u201380% smaller. Upscaling may slightly increase file size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I resize multiple GIFs at once?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current version processes one file at a time. For batch resizing, process files individually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More GIF Tools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/gifneo.net\/compress-gif.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Compress GIF<\/a>\u00a0&#8211; Reduce GIF file size without losing quality<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/gifneo.net\/cut-gif.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cut GIF<\/a>\u00a0&#8211; Trim GIF to a specific time range<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/gifneo.net\/speed-gif.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Speed GIF<\/a>\u00a0&#8211; Speed up or slow down GIF playback<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/gifneo.net\/images-to-gif.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Images to GIF<\/a>\u00a0&#8211; Combine multiple images into one GIF<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/gifneo.net\/reverse-gif.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Reverse GIF<\/a>\u00a0&#8211; Play GIF frames backward<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/gifneo.net\/rotate-gif.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rotate GIF<\/a>\u00a0&#8211; Rotate GIF 90\u00b0\/180\u00b0\/270\u00b0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/gifneo.net\/crop-gif.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Crop GIF<\/a>\u00a0&#8211; Crop GIF to a custom area<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/gifneo.net\/video-to-gif.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Video to GIF<\/a>\u00a0&#8211; Extract a clip from video as GIF<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/gifneo.net\/add-text-gif.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Add Text to GIF<\/a>\u00a0&#8211; Overlay text captions on GIF frames<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/gifneo.net\/split-gif.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Split GIF<\/a>\u00a0&#8211; Extract individual frames from a GIF<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/gifneo.net\/gif-to-video.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GIF to Video<\/a>\u00a0&#8211; Convert GIF animation to MP4\/WebM video<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GIFs are often the wrong size.
