}

Finally, compile the mods:

expo prebuild

import RNGifsicle from 'react-native-gifsicle';

const manipulatedUri = await RNGifsicle.compressGif(uri, {
  lossy: 100,
  colors: 250,
  // scale_x: 2,
  // scale_y: 2,
  // optimize:3
  // height: 250,
  // width: 300,
});

Install the package:

yarn add react-native-gifsicle

Link the library:

(Note: For React Native 0.60 or greater, autolinking is available)

  5. And go the Build Settings tab. Make sure All is toggled on (instead of Basic)
  6. Look for Header Search Paths and add $(SRCROOT)/../node_modules/react-native-gifsicle/ios/** as non-recursive

Compresses a GIF located at the specified URI using the provided options.

• uri (string): The URI of the GIF to compress.
• options (object): The options for compression. Available options are:
  • lossy (number): Alter image colors to shrink output file size at the cost of artifacts and noise. default=200 range [0-200]
  • optimize (number): Optimize output GIFs. default=3 range [1-3]
  • colors (number): Reduce the number of colors to N. default=255 rage [0-255]
  • scale_x (number): Scale the image in the x-axis.
  • scale_y (number): Scale the image in the y-axis.
  • height (number): Resize the output GIF height.
  • width (number): Resize the output GIF width.

• A Promise that resolves to a URI of the compressed GIF.

If you are using the library in one of your projects, consider supporting it with a star. It takes a lot of time and effort to keep this maintained and address issues and bugs. Thank you.
