GIF Speed Changer
Speed up or slow down a GIF from 0.25× to 8× — frames, colors, and loop stay untouched, only the timing changes. Free, also accepts APNG, WebP, and video.
GIF Speed Changer — Make Any GIF Play Faster or Slower
Change a GIF’s speed online with one number: pick a factor from 0.25× to 8×, and the whole animation is re-timed. 2× doubles the pace, 0.5× halves it — the frames, colors, and loop all stay exactly as they were.
Speed is the difference between a GIF that lands and one that drags. Screen recordings usually want speeding up so viewers aren’t watching every mouse move in real time; a fast reaction GIF can be funnier at half speed; a product loop often feels more polished a notch slower or faster than it was captured. Because only the frame timing changes, quality is untouched.
Animated APNG and animated WebP inputs work too, and a short video clip can be re-timed straight into GIF form.
How to change a GIF’s speed
- Upload your GIF (or APNG, animated WebP, or a short video clip).
- Pick a speed factor — 0.25× to 8×, where 1× is the original pace.
- Download the re-timed GIF — same frames, new tempo.

FAQ
How do I speed up a GIF? Upload it and choose a factor above 1× — for example, 2× makes it play twice as fast. Download the result; the frames themselves are unchanged.
How do I slow down a GIF? Choose a factor below 1× — 0.5× plays at half speed, 0.25× at quarter speed. Slowing down stretches the existing frames’ timing, so very slow settings can look steppy on GIFs that had few frames to begin with.
Why does my GIF stop getting faster past a certain point? GIFs have a practical playback ceiling: browsers won’t honor extremely short frame delays, which caps smooth playback around 50 frames per second. Beyond that point, higher speeds are achieved as far as the format allows.
Does changing speed affect file size? Barely — the same frames are shipped with different timing. To actually shrink the file, compress, resize, or trim the GIF.
