GIF Crate is a set of GIF tools you open in the browser. The one on this page sets a new frame on an animated GIF: crop into it, or add space around it, then save. The motion stays. The file stays on your device.
The same tool also lives at GIF Resizer.
Pull the frame inside the picture to trim every frame the same way. Let it hang past the picture and the extra room is yours to fill: clear, or a color that suits the layout. Wide, tall, or square, you pick the shape. Nothing here squashes the GIF to force the fit.
Open a GIF, set one window, and save. No account, no install, no watermark.
01
Open a GIF
Drop a file, paste one, or paste a public link. A GIF from this device is not uploaded.
02
Set one window
Drag the frame, or type the width and height. Crop inside the picture, or add space past it.
03
Save it
Download keeps a copy. Apply leaves the result on the page if you want another pass.
The tool above is for a GIF that has to fit a slot. These are the usual jobs.
Banners and headers
Channel art and page headers are wide. Add room on the left and right so the animation sits in the middle of a banner.
Stories and tall posts
A story frame is tall. Add space above and below, or crop to a vertical cut, and keep the motion.
Squares for a feed
Profile posts and thumbnails often want a square. Crop to that shape so the subject stays put.
A cleaner edge
Trim a stray border or empty margin. The same cut applies to every frame, so the animation does not jump.
The sketch below is not your file. The pale block is the GIF, and it keeps the same shape on every card. What changes is the room around it.
The wider card is a banner: space on the left and right. The taller card is a story: space above and below. That space can stay clear or take a color. To trim instead, drag the frame inside the picture.
The animation stays together
One window for the whole GIF. You are not cropping frame one by hand and hoping the rest match.
The picture is not squashed
A new shape comes from a crop or from space around the GIF. The picture itself is not pulled to fake the fit.
Free, and it stays with you
No account and no watermark. Open a GIF, edit it, and download it in the browser. A link you paste is loaded so you can work, and it is not kept.
