Trim GIF Online - Shorten Animated GIFs Free

EzyIMG's Trim GIF tool lets you shorten an animated GIF to any duration by selecting a start and end point with sliders. Remove slow intro frames, cut out an outro, or extract a specific moment from a longer meme GIF. Quick presets let you keep just the first 1, 2, 3, or 5 seconds with a single click. The timeline bar shows a visual representation of the selected range as you drag.

All trimming runs 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. The tool uses a two-pass palette optimization process so color quality is preserved in the trimmed output.
