Gif resizing is pretty hard. We've spent some pretty substantial effort in doing gif resizes for our infra.

Out of curiosity, what library is your saas backed by?

I'm using a mix of FFmpeg, Gifsicle, and Vips depending on the transformation that is being applied.

GIFs resized with FFmpeg will look great if everything is set up correctly, but if you need other effects it gets really tricky.

Imagemagick can resize gifs.

They look pretty bad, though.
