How to trim or split a GIF
To trim a GIF, upload it into Trim / Split GIF and set a shorter start and end so you keep only the part you want. To split it instead, add one or more split points to break the GIF into multiple segments. You can see the source duration and the resulting clip lengths before exporting.
When you trim, the tool exports a single shorter animated GIF. When you split, each segment is exported as its own animated GIF and packaged into one ZIP for download. Everything runs locally in your browser, so the GIF is never uploaded and there is no signup.
- Upload one animated GIF
- Set a clip range to trim, or add split points
- Preview source duration and clip lengths
- Export one GIF or a ZIP of clips
Why trim and split belong together
Both jobs start from the same question: which part of this GIF should survive? A shared time-based tool makes it easy to clip one range or define multiple boundaries without switching pages, so you can trim a long capture or break a reel into pieces in one place.
Keeping the workflow local also matters for animated GIFs, which can be large. Because Trim / Split GIF processes everything in the browser, there is no slow upload and no server round-trip, so your file stays private while you cut or split it.
