How to Crop a GIF Online for Free

Let's move on to how to crop a GIF using Watermarkly's online Photo Crop tool. What’s great about our GIF image cropper is that cropping is done right in the browser – it means that you can crop your animated GIFs on any device you want; and you won’t have to download or install anything!

Watermarkly’s online GIF cropper supports integration with cloud storage services such as Google Drive, Google Photos, and Dropbox. You can not only upload files that you want to crop from the storage but also export your cropped copies there, too. This is particularly convenient if your device doesn’t have a lot of free memory space.

If you need to crop GIF images, follow these simple instructions:

1. Go to the Watermarkly’s GIF cropper app at the top of this page.

2. Click the "Select files" button or drag and drop the GIF images you want to crop into the app’s window. You can upload files from your device – PC, laptop, smartphone or tablet – or from one of the available cloud storages.

Watermarkly supports batch-processing. Therefore, you can import multiple GIF files into the GIF cropper and crop them in one go. This will significantly simplify and speed up the whole process.

3. Adjust the cropping area. Select its shape – a circle crop or a rectangle that can be transformed into a square. Drag the cropping area anywhere within the frame and adjust its size. There is also a list of ready-made templates, which you can make use of.

4. Go to the export settings and specify them. You can preview what your images will look like after cropping.

5. Start the cropping process. When the GIF cropper is done, save your cropped images to your device or cloud storage.

You can use all Watermarkly’s features for free. But you’ll be able to process only up to 10 images per day.

What distinguishes Watermarkly among other similar apps to GIF crop is its broad functionality and various capabilities for working with files in different formats.

It allows you not only to crop GIF images, but also edit them in other ways:

• Image Compression. This tool allows you to reduce the file size of your image while maintaining its good quality. Watermarkly offers three ways of compressing a PNG, JPEG, GIF and other formats of images. It can preserve image quality as much as possible, or it can reduce its file size as much as possible. It is also possible to compress an image to a specific file size;
• Watermarking images. The main reason why you might want to add a watermark to your PDF, photo or animated images is to protect them from being copied and used without your consent. But watermarks can play another role – they can be of great help when it comes to free advertising. If you add your brand name or brand logo, people will inevitable learn about you and your brand;
• Blurring Faces and Blurring License Plates. Within just a few clicks, faces of strangers, unwanted license plates or some sensitive information in your images will be blurred. You can blur any part of an image online;
• Format Conversion. If you have a GIF file that doesn’t have an animation, and you want to change its format, you can easily do that in Watermarkly. For instance, you can convert your file to JPG.

Watermarkly is a browser-based GIF image cropper, so you’ll be able to process GIFs not only on a computer, but also on a smartphone or a tablet. You can use its amazing and surprisingly simple functionality from pretty much anywhere you want; as long as you are connected to the internet.
