A GIF maker that doesn't stamp its logo on your work

Most free GIF converters either watermark the output, cap the length, or make you wait in a queue while your file sits on someone else's server. This one runs entirely in your browser: the video never leaves your computer, there is no size limit, and the GIF comes out clean.

Keeping the file small

GIF is an old format with no real video compression — every frame is stored almost in full, so file size climbs fast with length, width and frame rate. Three or four seconds at 480px and 12fps is usually the sweet spot for something you can drop into a chat, a Slack thread or a support ticket. If the estimate looks alarming, trim harder before you drop the quality.

Where GIFs still earn their place

Showing a bug to a developer, demonstrating one step of a workflow, adding a short loop to a landing page or a cold email, or reacting in a group chat. For anything longer than about ten seconds a real video file will look better and weigh far less — the video compressor is the better tool for that.
