Why compress GIF files?

GIF files contain animation frames and color data, making them large. Email attachments, social media uploads, and websites often have size limits that can cause upload failures or slow loading times.

TheWebGyver processes everything directly in your browser without uploading files anywhere, keeping your data safe and private.
