Ezgif review

Ezgif is the workhorse GIF editor of the web: a free set of single-purpose tools rather than one design app. Its video converter accepts MP4, WebM, AVI, MOV, MKV and many more formats up to 200MB, or a direct video URL, and lets you pick start and end times, frame rate, loop count and the encoder. In October 2026 Ezgif made ezgif-hq the default encoder, using perceptual color quantization and adaptive per-frame palettes. After conversion, the output can be resized, cropped, rotated, reversed, sped up, optimized, captioned or censored, and a local processing option keeps files in your browser. The limits are documented: clips can run 60 seconds at 5 fps and only 30 seconds at 10 fps, so longer or smoother GIFs need a desktop tool like Gifski. There are no templates or stickers, which keeps it fast but plain. We compared documented features and published prices.
