GifCraft vs makegif

GifCraft is a browser-based tool for creating and editing looping GIFs from videos, image sequences or AI-generated images. It can trim, caption, filter, resize, crop, rotate, change playback speed, adjust looping and compress media. Supported inputs include MP4, MOV, WebM, M4V, GIF, PNG, JPG, WebP and AVIF; exports include GIF, H.264 MP4, animated WebP and PNG frames. GIF exports can contain up to 240 frames, use 2–256 colours and include optional dithering. Presets cover Discord emoji at 256 KB, Slack emoji at 128 KB, X at 15 MB and Instagram MP4; MP4 exports are also described for TikTok and WhatsApp. GifCraft says files are edited and encoded in the browser, and uploaded files are not sent to its servers. AI prompts are sent to the image model, and the generator allows a few images per hour. The free service works on web, Android and iOS, needs no account, adds no watermark and has no export limit. Very long 4K clips may be slow on older phones.

makegif is a free browser-based tool for creating and editing animated GIFs on the web. It can build GIFs from JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP files and screenshots, or convert short videos supplied as local files or direct video URLs. Video conversion includes controls for duration, size, frame rate and quality, with a 200MB maximum file size and a 5–30 fps range. Frame tools let users reorder or reverse frames, remove frames, and set one delay globally or different delays per frame. Separate cropper and resizer pages handle animated GIFs and list a 30MB file limit. Exports are watermark-free. Files used in browser tools are intended to stay local in the browser unless a feature says otherwise. The site may collect basic analytics, including visits, device type and referrer data. makegif is independently maintained, and its tools are provided as-is.
