How to change GIF speed
To change a GIF's speed, open it in the tool and choose a playback multiplier. GIF Speed Changer offers preset speeds and a custom value, so you can make an animation play faster or slower, then export the result as a new animated GIF.
Speeding up is useful for trimming long loops or making a demo feel snappier, while slowing down helps highlight a detail or make fast motion easier to follow. The change applies to playback timing across the whole animation.
All timing changes happen locally in your browser. The GIF is never uploaded to a server, so the file stays private on your device while you adjust how fast it plays.

Why a dedicated speed tool
Adjusting playback timing is a small, focused job. Most people who want to change a GIF's speed do not need crop, text, or other editing controls, so a dedicated speed tool is faster and clearer than a full editor.
GIF Speed Changer keeps the output as an animated GIF, so the only thing that changes is how quickly it plays. That makes it easy to fine-tune a loop without affecting its dimensions or content.
