Tips for Cropping GIFs
- The crop selection is applied to all frames of the GIF equally — you don't need to crop each frame individually.
- Use aspect ratio presets (1:1, 16:9, 4:3) for social media or video platform requirements.
- Cropping reduces the file size by removing pixels, which can make your GIF load faster on websites.
