Ezgif vs MakeAGIF

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.

MakeAGIF is a web service for turning imported video into GIFs. The free account costs nothing and allows 10 seconds of video time. Premium Membership allows 20 seconds, which is also the listed maximum GIF duration. Exports can be watermark-free, and transparent GIF export is available. Video import is supported, but screen recording is not. The service is listed for use through a web browser, Chrome extension, or API. Its freemium model offers a free plan and a paid membership with a longer video-time allowance, though no Premium Membership price is listed. The listed features focus on making GIFs from video and exporting them in standard or transparent form. For someone choosing between the available allowances, the free account provides half the video time allowed by the stated maximum; Premium reaches that limit. MakeAGIF is web-based, with the browser, extension, and API as its listed access routes.
