Crop an animated GIF to a smaller region without losing the animation. Drag a box over the preview to keep just the part you want. Everything runs locally in your browser using WebCodecs — your file is never uploaded to a server, so it stays private and conversion starts instantly. Need more than one operation? Use the "Continue this clip in" links in the workspace — your edits carry over to crop, trim, resize and compress without re-uploading the file.
