Ezgif

Ezgif is a free online toolset designed for creating, editing, and converting animated images and short video clips. Its primary function is to serve as a straightforward GIF maker and image editor, but it supports a broader range of formats including APNG, WebP, MNG, AVIF, JXL, and SVG. Users can start with a blank canvas or upload existing files in common image or video formats. The tool provides a video-to-GIF converter that extracts frames from MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI, and other video files, allowing users to specify start and end times, frame rate, and output dimensions. For static images, the GIF maker assembles multiple pictures into a looping animation with full control over delay, order, and transparency. The resizer adjusts dimensions and preserves aspect ratio, while the optimizer reduces file size through color reduction, dithering, and frame removal. The “Crop” function lets users select a rectangular area or use predefined aspect ratios for social media posts. “Reverse” flips the animation timeline, creating backward loops. “Split” breaks an animation into individual frames for manual editing. “Effects” applies filters such as grayscale, sepia, blur, brightness, contrast, and saturation adjustments. “Add text” overlays captions in custom fonts, colors, sizes, and positions on both animated images and videos. The “White box caption tool” (as noted in recent updates) adds iFunny-style top or bottom text with a solid background. For audio, the platform can extract sound from video files or replace the audio track in a video. Format conversion extends beyond GIF: users can convert WebP, APNG, AVIF, JXL, and SVG files to GIF, and vice versa. Video conversions include GIF to MP4, GIF to WebM, GIF to MOV, and from WebP to GIF. The “Analyzer” provides detailed metadat
