GIF Compressor
Compress GIFs locally in your browser with complete privacy.
Hi everyone,
I'm excited to share GIF Compressor, a Chrome extension I built as a solo developer.
I often needed to reduce the size of GIF files before sharing them or using them on websites. Most available tools required uploading files to external servers, and I wanted something faster and more private.
That's why I built GIF Compressor.
It lets you compress GIFs directly inside your browser.
Everything is processed locally.
Nothing is uploaded.
No account is required.
No tracking.
You can preview the result before saving and adjust compression settings to get the right balance between quality and file size.
This is the first version and I already have many improvements planned.
I'd really appreciate your feedback.
What feature would make this extension even more useful for you?
Thank you for checking it out and supporting independent makers.
Really useful for shaving down those huge GIFs. One thing I'd love is an option to preview the output before downloading so I can dial in the quality without trial and error.
finally something that doesn't shove my gifs through a server, the local browser compression feels way more private and the frame rate slider actually makes a noticeable difference in file size.
Love that it runs entirely in the browser, no uploads needed. The side-by-side preview while tweaking quality and frame rate is a really thoughtful touch that makes dialing in the right balance super easy.
Love that it runs entirely in the browser without uploading anything, and the live preview next to the quality slider makes it really easy to find the sweet spot. Solid little tool.
