How do I speed up or slow down an animated GIF?

Upload your GIF into the GIF Speed Changer, adjust the speed multiplier slider (from 0.25x slow motion to 4.0x fast motion), preview the live animation, and export your retimed GIF.

Does changing GIF speed alter the number of frames?

No. The speed changer updates the centisecond delay header in the GIF Graphic Control Extension block, adjusting playback timing without deleting or re-sampling frames.

Can I create a super slow-motion GIF effect?

Yes. Selecting 0.5x or 0.25x multiplier extends the duration of each frame, allowing you to inspect high-speed moments frame by frame.

Will speeding up a GIF reduce its file size?

Changing frame delay alone does not modify image byte payloads, but combining speed adjustment with frame skipping can substantially reduce total file size.

Mathematical Formula & Technical Methodology

\text{New Delay (ms)} = \frac{\text{Original Delay (ms)}}{\text{Speed Multiplier}}

Formula Variables Explained:
Divides frame display durations by the target acceleration factor to produce accelerated or decelerated animation loops.

Step-by-Step Worked Example

A 200ms frame delay with 2x speed adjustment recalculates to 100ms per frame.
