In their own words
GGIFF
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.
