What is the difference between Cut and Frames?

Cut keeps a continuous range between two points. The Frames tool lets you delete individual frames anywhere and change per-frame delays — more granular, for finer edits.

Will the trimmed GIF still loop?

Yes, the loop setting is preserved so the trimmed span repeats forever like the original.

Can I trim the start and the end?

Yes — both handles are independent, so you can cut off a slow intro, a trailing pause, or both at once.

Cut a GIF (trim frames)

Keep only the good part. The Cut tool trims a GIF to a frame range — drag the in and out points, preview the loop, and export just that span.

pixelpix handles GIF frame disposal correctly (frames are usually stored as deltas), so a trimmed GIF plays cleanly with no ghosting or holes.

Trim a GIF down to the frames you want

Long GIFs are often mostly filler with one good moment. Cutting keeps only the frame range you choose, which both focuses the animation and cuts the file size proportionally. Drag the in and out points, preview the loop, and export just that span.

Trimming a range that does not start at the first frame needs care: because frames are stored as deltas, naively keeping a mid-clip range would garble playback. pixelpix expands the frames first so any trimmed section plays perfectly.
