Your Files Never Leave Your Device
Unlike most online GIF tools, GIF-Creator processes everything locally in your browser using WebAssembly and Canvas APIs. Your videos, images, and GIFs are never uploaded to a server — they stay on your machine, always.
No server uploads
All processing runs in your browser. Zero data leaves your device.
No media analytics
We never inspect filenames or media content. Product analytics contain only anonymous workflow events.
No account needed
Start editing immediately. No sign-up, no email, no friction.
GIF Maker & Editor FAQ
Are my GIFs uploaded to a server?
No. The focused GIF-Creator tools process source files in your browser. The browser downloads the processing engine, but your GIF is not sent to an editing server.
Can I resize or crop a GIF without losing the animation?
Yes. The resize and crop tools apply the same transformation to every frame and then rebuild the animated GIF. You can preview the actual result before downloading it.
Can I compress a GIF to an exact file-size limit?
Yes. Enter a target in KB or MB. The compressor tests multiple real encodes and selects the clearest generated result at or below the limit when that target is achievable.
How do I make a GIF faster, slower, or shorter?
Use Change GIF Speed for playback timing, or Trim GIF to keep an exact start and end range. Both pages report the measured duration of the finished file.
Can I extract every frame from a GIF?
Yes. Split GIF into Frames creates correctly composited PNG files, provides individual downloads, and can package the complete sequence into a ZIP file.
Can I convert an animated GIF to MP4 or WebP?
Yes. GIF to MP4 creates a video with a chosen transparency background, while GIF to WebP keeps animation in a modern image format. A separate WebP to GIF tool converts in the other direction.
