Hagif vs Purupuru Maker

Hagif is a browser-first workshop for creating downloadable media files, with workflows for GIFs, video, images, audio, PDFs, SVGs, and utilities. Featured tasks include video-to-GIF, GIF compression, image-to-GIF, and GIF-to-MP4; it also offers templates and prompt-to-GIF. Core conversion and editing run in the browser on the user’s device, and standard single-file processing is free, requires no account, and produces watermark-free downloads. Free batch GIF processing is limited to one file at a time. The 24-hour Hagif Power Pass costs $4.99, paid once and adds batch GIF processing, ZIP downloads, exact-target search, and additional quality candidates for up to 10 selected GIFs; it does not renew automatically. Hagif says files stay in the browser except when using AI GIF, which sends the text prompt to Cloudflare Workers AI before creating the animation in the browser. Large files may run out of memory, and codec support varies by browser, source format, and device.

Purupuru Maker turns selected areas of still images into looping motion for GIFs or browser-made video. Its web editor accepts PNG, JPEG, and WebP files: paint a mask over the area to animate, preview the effect, then export. Motion presets include Jelly, Sway, Bounce, Wave, Pulse, and Quake, with controls for speed, amplitude, damping, and gravity. Batch mode applies one preset and its tuning controls to a group of images. Processing happens in the browser, so the source image, mask, preview, and export are not sent to a Purupuru Maker application server. The site says it keeps no account library copy; closing the tab ends the session unless an export was downloaded. GIFs have no added logo or watermark. MP4 export depends on a compatible browser recorder, while WebM works in many modern browsers. The editor supports phones, mouse, stylus, and finger input, and a Chrome extension can open the studio or send an image URL.
