Drop as many as you like — they compress in your browser, then download as one zip.
Eziclip is a free, in-browser GIF compressor: drop a batch of animated GIFs, pick Small, Balanced or High, compare original vs optimized side by side, and download them all as a single zip — and they stay animated GIFs. It shrinks the file with an optimal colour palette, fewer frames and a smaller size, all on your own device — nothing uploaded, no watermark, no sign-up. Unlike Ezgif (per-file size limits and uploads) or cloud optimizers, Eziclip compresses GIFs locally with no caps.
Make a heavy GIF small — without killing the animation
Animated GIFs balloon fast: a few seconds of screen capture can be tens of megabytes, too big for chat, email or a README. The fix is a smaller colour palette, fewer frames per second and a smaller size — the three things that actually drive a GIF's weight — applied without turning it into a slideshow.
Eziclip does exactly that, in your browser. It builds an optimal palette for each GIF (the high-quality palettegen/paletteuse path), optionally trims the frame rate and scales it down, and re-encodes it as a GIF — so it stays animated, just much lighter. Drop a batch and every one is optimized on your own device.
Pick a level, see the result before you save
Three levels cover the common cases: Small caps the frame rate and size and uses a tighter palette for the smallest file, Balanced is the best size-to-quality trade, and High keeps the original frame rate and size with a full 256-colour palette.
Each GIF shows its before and after size and the percent saved, and a draggable split-screen compare lets you wipe between the original and the optimized version — playing — so you can check the motion and colour before you download.
Nothing uploaded — your GIFs stay yours
Most GIF optimizers upload every file to a server to process it, often with a size limit on the free tier. Eziclip never uploads: the optimization runs in your browser, so your GIFs never leave your device and there's no file-size cap waiting to block the big one.
That's also why it's free with no caps. There's no per-file cost to us because there's no server doing the work — so there's no file-count limit, no queue, and no watermark stamped on the result.
Free, no watermark, no sign-up
Every level and every download is free, for everyone — no account, no watermark on the GIFs, no paywall at the zip. Like every Eziclip tool, it's funded by optional support, not by holding your files hostage.
It works on any modern browser, on desktop or phone, and the whole batch downloads in one click as a zip, so you can optimize a folder of GIFs and get a folder back.

Questions
Yes. The optimizer re-encodes your file as a GIF and keeps every frame's timing — it just rebuilds it with a smaller palette and, on Small/Balanced, a trimmed frame rate and size. The output plays exactly like the input, only lighter.
No. Optimization happens entirely in your browser — your files never leave your device, and there's nothing for any server to keep or cap.
It depends on the source, but cutting the palette to 64–128 colours plus a lower frame rate and size (Small/Balanced) often shrinks a screen-capture GIF by well over half. High keeps the most detail for a gentler save.
As many as your device can hold in memory — there's no per-batch limit. They optimize one after another and download together as a single zip.
For the very smallest file, an MP4 is far more efficient than any GIF — but it's no longer a GIF, so it won't autoplay inline everywhere a GIF does. This tool keeps it a GIF; use Compress Video if you're happy with an MP4.
