An animated Gif is nothing more than an image with a certain number of frames included in a single file. Thanks to this feature, we could very easily include it on a specific website to be displayed with its respective animation; if we have a file that is too big and heavy, Gif Reducer will help us reduce it to a minimum.
On the web there are a few tools that can help us to easily develop a Gif animation based on independent images, something that could later cause the creation of a too heavy file if we have not correctly optimized the number of colors. Depending on certain characteristics we could effectively use Gif Reducer and obtain a lightweight file that we could already post on a web page or any other similar environment.
Pros and cons of using Gif Reducer
Once we go to the official website of the developer of this online tool (Gif Reducer) we will notice a very simple interface to handle. There are only two options to import into our animated file, these being:
- One button to select Animated Gif via file explorer.
- The URL address of the place where this animated Gif is hosted.
A little further down there are a few additional options, which will help us to make the final result have the same image fidelity as the original.
Finally, we will only have to press the button at the bottom (reduce it) so that the process starts at that moment. The only drawback that could be found in the limitation offered by Gif Reducer, something that you can notice at the top of its web page. Right there it is mentioned, that eThe maximum limit to be able to use a file is 2 MB; If we have had a series of images and we have joined them to form an animated Gif, surely the resulting file will have a greater weight than the limitation offered by this alternative.
