Ezgif vs Hagif

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.

Hagif is a browser-first workshop for creating downloadable media files, with workflows for GIFs, video, images, audio, PDFs, SVGs, and utilities. Featured tasks include video-to-GIF, GIF compression, image-to-GIF, and GIF-to-MP4; it also offers templates and prompt-to-GIF. Core conversion and editing run in the browser on the user’s device, and standard single-file processing is free, requires no account, and produces watermark-free downloads. Free batch GIF processing is limited to one file at a time. The 24-hour Hagif Power Pass costs $4.99, paid once and adds batch GIF processing, ZIP downloads, exact-target search, and additional quality candidates for up to 10 selected GIFs; it does not renew automatically. Hagif says files stay in the browser except when using AI GIF, which sends the text prompt to Cloudflare Workers AI before creating the animation in the browser. Large files may run out of memory, and codec support varies by browser, source format, and device.
