About
Many platforms and layouts expect square images, and a mismatched aspect ratio means awkward cropping or letterboxing. This tool reshapes your GIF into a perfect square by letting you choose how the content fits — crop to fill, pad with a background color, or scale to fit. It is the fastest way to get your animation ready for Instagram posts, grid layouts, or thumbnail slots.
Features
Multiple fit modes: crop to fill, fit with padding, or stretch to square
Custom background color or transparency for padded areas
Keeps the animation intact — all frames get the same treatment consistently
Processed right in your browser with no server uploads needed

Pro Tips
Crop-to-fill works best when the important content is centered in the original GIF
For social media thumbnails, a square with slight padding often looks more polished than a tight crop
Use a transparent background if you plan to layer the square GIF over other content later
