Imgflip GIF Maker review

Imgflip is built around memes, and its GIF maker is one of the quickest ways to put text on a clip. You choose Video to GIF or Images to GIF, upload a file or paste a URL from YouTube, Vimeo, Giphy and other sites, then add text, images, stickers and drawings, with a time range slider controlling when each appears. A motion option lets captions follow objects in a video GIF. The free tier has clear limits on the Pro comparison page: video GIFs are capped at 160 frames, 360x360 pixels and 24 second segments, and output carries a small imgflip.com watermark. Pro lifts those to 1,600 frames, unlimited dimensions and 240 seconds, removes the watermark and adds sound on GIFs. The page lists Pro at 11.95 per month billed yearly without naming a currency, so we mark the price as pending. We compared documented features and published prices.
