How to Make GIFs Under 8MB for Discord
Reduce Dimensions
Use 400-480px width. Discord chat doesn't display GIFs full-screen, so smaller dimensions look fine and save huge file size.
Lower the FPS
12-15 FPS is smooth enough for Discord. Going from 30 to 15 FPS cuts file size roughly in half.
Trim the Duration
Keep GIFs under 5 seconds. Every extra second adds significantly to file size. Trim to just the key moment.
Compress After Converting
Use our GIF Compressor tool to squeeze extra bytes out. Color reduction and lossy compression can reduce size by 30-60%.
