Open Advanced → Crop and enter the region: x, y from the top-left plus width and height.
- 3
Convert in any format and download the cropped result.
Cropping animated GIFs without re-uploading
Cropping a GIF must apply the same region to every frame, or the animation appears to shake. This tool sets one crop rectangle and applies it through the whole clip with FFmpeg.wasm — locally, so nothing is uploaded and nothing is watermarked.
Common uses: removing letterbox bars from screen recordings, cutting a subject out of a wide banner, squaring a GIF for profile use, or slicing off an embedded watermark at the edge. Combine crop with resize for exact output dimensions.
Tip: the source dimensions are displayed above the timeline, which makes picking x/y/w/h coordinates straightforward — the live preview confirms the result before download.
Common crops, exactly how people use them
Crop a GIF to a square (1:1)
For avatars and profile images: read the dimensions shown above the timeline, set width = height = the smaller side, and center it — x = (W−S)/2, y = (H−S)/2. Preview confirms the result before you download.
Remove black bars from a screen recording
Recordings made on one aspect ratio and played in another get letterboxed. Measure the bar height (usually equal top and bottom), then crop it away in one pass — applied to every frame identically.
Crop, then go vertical
The 9:16 tool keeps the center band. If your subject sits off-center, crop to put it center-stage first, then run the vertical conversion. Vertical 9:16 converter →
What cropping can't do
It's one fixed rectangle for the whole clip — it can't follow a moving subject, and it can't recover anything outside the frame you keep. For off-center subjects across a long clip, cut it into sections and crop each.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I crop a GIF to a square?
⌄
Read the dimensions from the timeline header, then in Advanced → Crop set width = height = the smaller side, with x/y centered: x = (W−S)/2, y = (H−S)/2 where S is the square size.
Can I remove a watermark from a GIF?
⌄
If the watermark sits at an edge, crop past it. Only crop content you own or have rights to — the same applies to any editor.
Is this GIF converter really free?
⌄
Yes — the browser converter is free with unlimited use, no watermark, and no account. It runs on your own device, so there is no server cost to pass on to you. AI enhancement (60fps, 2x upscale) uses paid GPU credits.
What is the best free GIF to video converter in 2026?
⌄
For free and private conversion, GIFtoVideoAI: unlimited use, files processed entirely in your browser (never uploaded), no watermark, no signup — plus optional AI 60fps and 2x upscaling. If you need heavier editing suites, ezgif offers more tools; we compare both honestly on this site.
Can I convert GIF to video on my phone without uploading?
⌄
Yes — the converter runs in mobile browsers (iOS Safari, Android Chrome). Processing happens on your device, so nothing is uploaded even on mobile. The result saves to Files (iOS) or Downloads (Android).
Are my files uploaded to a server?
⌄
No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly (FFmpeg.wasm). Your GIF never leaves your device — you can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it still works.
What's the maximum file size?
⌄
Up to 100 MB per GIF and 5 files per batch in the free browser converter. AI enhancement accepts videos up to 30 seconds.
Will there be a watermark?
⌄
Never. The output is a clean file with no watermark, no branding overlay, and no injected metadata.
