GIF Compress
Most large GIFs are bloated because they're too big, too smooth, or use too many colors. This tool re-encodes through ffmpeg.wasm with a tuned palette and the dimensions/fps you pick. The animation plays back identically — just at a smaller size and smaller file. Runs entirely in your browser; the GIF never leaves your device.
