A little help from YUIgif

Your files stay yours

Videos, images and finished GIFs are processed in your browser. YUIgif has no media upload, account or analytics service. The site’s hosting provider may receive ordinary website request logs. Support links open external sites.

Make your first GIF

  1. Add a video, GIF or a few images.
  2. Set the order and trim each clip. Give still images a hold time.
  3. Choose your size, add text or a sticker, then select Make my GIF.

Edit on the canvas

Choose Move layers to drag your text or sticker. Drag a corner handle to resize it. Select a layer or handle and use the arrow keys for precise adjustments; hold Shift for larger steps.

Choose Crop, then drag the frame or its handles. Select Apply crop when you are happy with the frame, or Reset crop to use the whole image.

The canvas shows the first frame, not a live animation. The result tab plays your exported GIF.

Keep it light

Use a recent desktop browser with WebAssembly, 4 GB of RAM or more, and enough free memory for your media. Start with a short clip at 480 px. Mobile devices and large files can be slower or run out of memory. Browser video preview depends on supported codecs.

Videos never receive an assumed one-second length. If your browser cannot read the duration, enter the clip length before converting.
