Honest About Limits

We tell you upfront: 100 MB input, 60-second videos, 300 frames max. Check FAQ for details.

Upload any GIF and reduce its size directly in your browser. Plotlake never uploads files, letting you tweak palette sizes, dithering, and optional resizing to hit size targets for Discord, Slack, or email.

Use presets to aim for balance: Social and High Quality favor detail, while Small File trims color depth to 64-128 colors. Tutorial-style settings keep UI text legible for demo GIFs.

Guidance: start with your original width, then reduce palette or width incrementally. All exports remain watermark-free and free to download.
