Faster or slower gives you the Speed slider, from 0.25 to 4. At 1 the GIF keeps its speed, 2 plays it twice as fast and 0.5 at half speed. A GIF that lingers on some frames keeps that rhythm.
Same timing for every frame gives you the Frames per second slider, from 1 to 50. It evens out a GIF whose frames come at uneven speeds. At 10 frames per second, each frame gets a tenth of a second.
How very fast GIFs are timed
A GIF stores each frame's time in hundredths of a second, and browsers slow down any frame shorter than 0.02 seconds. So when a frame would get less than that, the tool combines it with the frame before. The GIF shows fewer frames, but it runs at the speed you set. Times between hundredths are rounded without throwing the total off: at 30 frames per second, frames get 0.03 or 0.04 seconds.
When to change a GIF's speed
Slowing down a fast reaction GIF so a moment can be seen. Speeding up a slow screen recording or a long animation.
GIF speed changer limits
The picture stays as it is, and a transparent background stays transparent. A still picture has no timing to change. A GIF larger than 1000 px on its long side is scaled down to 1000 px, and a GIF with more than 300 frames is thinned to 300 or fewer and keeps its length.
