GIF speed changer speed it up or slow it down, free

By ShinobiTools Team · Last updated: September 2026

Whether you're trying to speed up a gif or slow down a gif that plays too fast, pick a new speed from the list and download — the loop keeps its colours and keeps moving. Free, no account, up to 400 MB.

Pick a speed, keep the loop

Choose anywhere from half speed up to four times as fast and every frame is re-timed to match — the GIF keeps its own colour palette and keeps looping the way it did before.

GIFs wider than about 1280 pixels after the change come back scaled down to fit that width, proportions kept — the same limit as every other GIF tool on this site.

Speed up or slow down — same page

Searched for a gif speed changer, a way to speed up a gif, or the opposite — how to slow down a gif? This one page does both directions: pick 0.5× or 0.75× to slow it down, or 1.5×, 2× and 4× to speed it up.

Speed change, or something else?

This page only changes the pace. Need to cut a piece out of the frame first? Crop GIF does that. Want it playing backwards instead? Reverse GIF handles that, and you can run one result through the other for both at once. Just need a shorter loop, not a different pace? GIF cutter trims the length.

About your file

A browser can't re-encode a GIF's timing, so it's uploaded to our own server, changed there, and deleted the moment the job finishes — we keep no copy. Limit: 400 MB and 20 minutes of source length.

Also known as a gif speed control

Same tool under any of these: gif speed changer, speed up gif, slow down gif, change gif speed, gif slower, slow down animated gif, or speed up gif online.

Free at any speed on the list — no watermark, no account, no trial.

Works on any device

No app needed — open this page in Safari on an iPhone or Chrome on Android, pick a speed the same way you would on a laptop, and download the result.

Common questions

How do I speed up a gif?

Pick 1.5×, 2× or 4× from the list and download — every frame is re-timed to match, and you get back a real, moving GIF.

How do I slow down a gif?

Pick 0.5× (half speed) or 0.75× from the list. The GIF plays slower but keeps every frame — nothing is skipped.

Is this gif speed changer really free?

Yes. No watermark, no account, no daily cap — up to 400 MB and 20 minutes of source length.

What speeds can I pick?

Half speed, 0.75×, 1.5×, twice as fast, or four times as fast. Anything outside that list isn't offered because the difference stops being useful at the extremes.

Does changing the speed lose quality or add colour banding?

No — the output gets a colour palette built from your own GIF, not a generic web palette, which is what usually causes banding.

What happens to my GIF?

It's uploaded to our own server, processed there, and deleted the instant the job finishes. Nothing is kept or looked at.

Can I change the speed of a GIF on my phone?

Yes — open this page in Safari or Chrome, pick a speed and download the result. No app needed.

Does the result keep looping?

Yes — the speed change is applied to every frame, so the loop keeps playing exactly as before, just faster or slower.

Can I make a GIF wider than 1280 pixels this way?

No — like every GIF tool here, the result is capped at about 1280 pixels wide. A GIF that starts under that width stays exact.
