6 quick GIF utilities — create, compress, resize, reverse and re-time animations
A GIF is the quickest way to share a short, silent, looping clip — a reaction, a product demo, a bug reproduction — without asking anyone to press play. The jobs around them are small but fiddly: turning a screen recording into a GIF, shrinking one that is too heavy to send, or slowing an animation down so people can actually follow it. These six tools handle the whole GIF workflow in your browser.
Everything runs locally in your browser — the video-to-GIF conversion, the frame extraction, the resizing — all with JavaScript, so your clips are never uploaded to a server. That keeps unreleased footage and personal recordings private, removes any upload limit, and leaves no watermark on the result. Make and tweak as many GIFs as you like.
GIFs trade file size for convenience, so the practical art is keeping them small enough to send while still looking smooth. Video to GIF lets you clip and convert a recording, Compress GIF and Resize GIF bring a bloated animation back under control, and Change Speed re-times it without re-recording. Reverse GIF creates the satisfying boomerang effect, and GIF to PNG Frames breaks an animation into individual images when you need to edit or study a single frame. Together they cover the everyday GIF routine.

What Each Tool Does
Every tool below opens instantly, needs no account, and processes your data locally in your browser. Here is what each one is for:
Video to GIF
Turn a short video clip into an animated GIF, trimming the start and end and choosing the frame rate. Open the Video to GIF →
Compress GIF
Reduce a GIF's file size by optimizing its colors and frames so it is small enough to send or embed. Open the Compress GIF →
Resize GIF
Scale an animated GIF to smaller dimensions while keeping every frame in sync. Open the Resize GIF →
Reverse GIF
Play a GIF backwards, or chain it forward-and-back for a seamless boomerang loop. Open the Reverse GIF →
Change Speed
Speed up or slow down a GIF's playback without re-recording the animation. Open the Change Speed tool →
GIF to PNG Frames
Split an animated GIF into its individual frames and download them as separate PNG images. Open the GIF to PNG Frames →
How to Choose the Right Tool
Start with Video to GIF when you are creating an animation from a screen or camera recording. If an existing GIF is too heavy to send, Compress GIF optimizes its palette and frames, and Resize GIF cuts the dimensions for an even smaller file. Change Speed re-times a clip that plays too fast or too slow, while Reverse GIF flips the playback or builds a boomerang. When you need to work on a single moment, GIF to PNG Frames exports every frame as an image you can edit elsewhere.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are my videos and GIFs uploaded anywhere?
No — every tool processes your files locally in the browser, so nothing is sent to a server and your clips stay private.
Why are GIF files so large?
GIFs store every frame as a separate image with a limited palette, so long or high-resolution animations add up fast. Use Compress GIF and Resize GIF to bring the size down.
What video formats can I turn into a GIF?
Video to GIF accepts the common formats your browser can play, including MP4, WebM and MOV, and lets you trim to just the section you want.
Can I edit a single frame of a GIF?
Yes — use GIF to PNG Frames to export each frame as a PNG, edit the one you need in another tool, and you have the individual image to work with.
