GIPHY review

GIPHY is first a GIF search engine, and its GIF Maker is designed to feed that library. On the web you can upload JPG, PNG, GIF, MP4, MOV or WebM files, or paste a link from YouTube, Vimeo and other sites, then decorate the result with captions, filters and stickers. A separate sticker maker accepts JPG or PNG images. In the mobile app, you press and hold the shutter to record a GIF, add a caption, trim with the scissors tool and upload. Uploads need a signed-in account and can carry up to 20 tags and be set public or private, and published GIFs share to Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp and other apps. The app is free on the US App Store. What it lacks is control: GIPHY does not document frame rate, palette or size settings, so creators who care about output quality should export from Ezgif or Gifski and upload the finished file. We compared documented features and published prices.
