GifGen
What it is
GifGen uses generative AI to turn an image and a motion description into a looping animated GIF. It supports prompt-to-GIF and image-to-GIF creation, but not video-to-GIF. Editing options include changing crop and playback speed, reordering or hiding frames, and choosing loop or boomerang playback. Standard mode renders 9 frames; Smoother renders 16. Motion styles include rotate, bounce, pulse, sway, spin, float, wave, glow, zoom and shake. GifGen runs on Android and the web, supports direct WhatsApp sticker import, and exports suited to WhatsApp, TikTok, Instagram, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Keynote, Google Slides and Notion. It also publishes a GIF Generator GPT on ChatGPT, described as the same product and team as the web app. A free trial is available, but there is no free plan. The Creator plan is €9.99 a month and includes 1,000 monthly credits; standard animations cost 10 credits and Pro animations cost 30, and monthly credits do not roll over. GifGen says prompts and reference images go to Google Gemini or, where enabled, OpenAI, and that it does not train its own models on user data.
