Ezgif vs Imgflip GIF Maker

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.
