Crop GIF Online - Cut Animated GIF Free, No Watermark

EzyIMG's Crop GIF tool lets you trim an animated GIF by dragging a selection rectangle directly over the preview. Remove unwanted black bars, borders, or background areas, or isolate a specific subject within a wider scene. Aspect ratio presets (1:1, 16:9, 4:3, 9:16) let you snap to a standard format instantly. It's useful for social media thumbnails, meme creation, and removing padding added by screen recorders.

All cropping is processed locally in your browser using WebAssembly, and your GIF is never sent to any server. No account is required and the output has no watermark. Every frame of the animation is cropped to the same selected region, so the animation plays back correctly in full after cropping.
