GGIFF vs GifLoop

GGIFF is a web-based GIF editor and converter available free of charge. It accepts video, GIF, and image-series inputs, including MP4, MOV, WebM, PNG, JPG, and WebP, and can also use a pasted image or hosted media URL. Video can be trimmed, assigned an extraction frame rate, and decoded into the editor. Editing tools cover resizing, optimization, frame changes, cropping, zooming, panning, and animated crop keyframes. Background options include AI removal, chroma key, black or white removal, and replacement. Effects provide color and brightness controls, blur, sharpening, artistic treatments, distortions, and animation or frame effects. Text, image, and GIF overlays can be added, and paint layers support drawing. Exports include GIF, PNG or JPG frames, and browser-supported video; WebM is best supported and MP4 requires Chrome. Settings can be saved in .ggiff files. Twitch and 7TV presets impose stated size, dimension, aspect-ratio, and frame limits. Cross-origin videos must be downloaded first.

GifLoop is an iOS app for creating and editing animated GIFs, with projects that can start from photos, camera captures, video frames, or a blank canvas. Its tools include filters, text, drawing, onion skinning, glitch and jitter effects, and background removal. Creators can choose among seven loop modes, including ping-pong, random, fade loop, and play-once; per-frame timing is available on Pro. Free exports GIF and MP4, while Pro adds MOV, Live Photo, and frame strip. The custom Swift encoder offers controls for palette, dithering, lossy compression, file-size targets, and resolution. Free is free and permits up to 15 frames per project; GifLoop Pro is $1.99, paid once as a one-time purchase. The app requires iOS 17 or later and runs on iPhone and iPad. The maker says processing stays on-device and creative content is not uploaded to its servers; the editor and all five export formats work offline.
