Brush Ninja vs Ezgif

Brush Ninja is a 2D animation tool for creating animated work and exporting it in several formats. It runs on the web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. The free plan includes core animation tools and does not require an account. Exports include GIF, WebM, PNG, JPG, PDF, a ZIP image sequence, and the.brushninja format. Premium adds the ability to upload and animate users’ own images, premium stickers, sound effects, advert removal, and priority email communication. Premium monthly costs $7 a month, and Premium annual costs $48 a year; both listings say cancellation is possible any time. The free plan is free. Brush Ninja is listed as founded in 2013 and headquartered in the United Kingdom. The listed capabilities focus on 2D animation: 3D modeling, character rigging, motion graphics, and cloud collaboration are all absent. This distinction matters for people choosing between a focused animation tool and software that covers those other production needs.

Ezgif is a web-based set of tools for creating and editing animated images, including GIFs. Its free GIF maker converts images or video without watermarks, signup, or conversion limits, and it also supports APNG, WebP, MNG, JXL, and AVIF animations. GIF maker resolution is capped at 1920×1920 pixels; individual frame files can be up to 50MB. Uploads can contain as many as 2,000 files with a combined maximum size of 200MB, and uploaded files are automatically deleted after one hour. Image archives in ZIP, 7z, TAR, or RAR formats are accepted. Other tools include video conversion, a screen recorder for capturing a screen, window, or browser tab up to 4K/30fps, and bulk GIF optimization that can run in the browser without uploads. A metadata remover strips GPS, camera, timestamp, author, and thumbnail data. Standard GIF output works with Discord, Slack, Telegram, and other messaging platforms. Ezgif is available on the web, and its free plan costs nothing.
