Ezgif vs GifCraft

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.

GifCraft is a browser-based tool for creating and editing looping GIFs from videos, image sequences or AI-generated images. It can trim, caption, filter, resize, crop, rotate, change playback speed, adjust looping and compress media. Supported inputs include MP4, MOV, WebM, M4V, GIF, PNG, JPG, WebP and AVIF; exports include GIF, H.264 MP4, animated WebP and PNG frames. GIF exports can contain up to 240 frames, use 2–256 colours and include optional dithering. Presets cover Discord emoji at 256 KB, Slack emoji at 128 KB, X at 15 MB and Instagram MP4; MP4 exports are also described for TikTok and WhatsApp. GifCraft says files are edited and encoded in the browser, and uploaded files are not sent to its servers. AI prompts are sent to the image model, and the generator allows a few images per hour. The free service works on web, Android and iOS, needs no account, adds no watermark and has no export limit. Very long 4K clips may be slow on older phones.
