What happens when I split a GIF?
Each resulting segment is exported as its own animated GIF and packaged into one ZIP file for download.
Does this upload the GIF to a server?
No. Trimming, splitting, and export all happen locally in your browser, so your GIF is never uploaded.
Can I see the clip lengths before exporting?
Yes. The tool shows the source duration and the resulting clip lengths so you can confirm the cut before you download.
Is it free to use?
Yes. Trim / Split GIF is free with no signup and runs entirely in your browser.
How do I trim a GIF?
Switch to Trim mode, set the start and the end in milliseconds with the fields or the sliders, and export. The frames outside the range are dropped and everything inside keeps its original timing, all in your browser.
How do I split a GIF into several parts?
Switch to Split mode and place the cut points. Each segment is exported as its own GIF, with the frame timing of the source preserved in every piece.
Does trimming a GIF reduce the file size?
Yes, and proportionally. GIF stores every frame in full, so cutting half the clip removes roughly half the file, and unlike a palette or a lossy pass it costs nothing in quality.
Why is the timing in milliseconds?
Because GIF timing is stored per frame, not per second. A frame boundary is where a cut can actually land, and milliseconds are the resolution at which you can hit it.
Will the trimmed GIF still loop smoothly?
Not necessarily. A seamless loop depends on the last frame leading back into the first, and a trim usually breaks that relationship. Check the loop point before you ship it.
