Imgflip GIF Maker vs SSuite Gif Animator

Imgflip GIF Maker is an online tool for turning images and video into animated GIFs. It can use video files, URLs, YouTube, Vimeo, and Giphy, and offers text, stickers, drawings, cropping, rotation, resizing, sound, and motion. Prompt-to-GIF creation is not supported. Users can save GIFs to an Imgflip account when logged in, or share them through links, downloads, phone apps, social media, and Imgflip communities.

The free plan supports video GIFs up to 24 seconds, 160 frames, 360x360 dimensions, and 12M total resolution. Image-to-GIF creation allows up to 1600 frames and 500x500 dimensions. Pro raises video limits to 1600 frames, 240 seconds, unlimited dimensions, and 240M total resolution; it also lists unlimited image frames and dimensions, watermark removal or customization, and ad removal. Pro costs $11.95 a month with yearly billing or $14.95 a month. Sound on video-based GIFs requires Pro.

SSuite Gif Animator makes animated GIFs, movies and slideshows from images. In the desktop edition, users load images into a list and press Create to build an animation. It accepts JPG, JPEG, PNG and BMP files, allows timing from milliseconds to minutes, and can use a separate interval for each image. It can also resize images to a shared size. The maker says GIFs made with the application can be viewed in current web browsers. The product page lists a portable Windows edition and a PC edition that requires InstallShield; the portable version can run from a USB drive or other memory device. The maker lists support for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows and directs users to run the executable as administrator on Vista, 7, 8, 10, 11 and beyond. It links to an online maker edition, but that site returned a 403 error when opened. The software is proprietary freeware for private and commercial use, priced at free.
