What it is
GifRun is a web tool for making GIF and WebP animations from video sources, including YouTube, Vimeo, direct links, and uploaded files. Its editor supports text overlays, cropping, speed changes, frame-rate controls, filters, and resolution selection. Direct uploads accept MP4, MOV, and MKV files up to 200 MB. An anonymous user is limited to 10 seconds and 520px resolution, with a watermark and possible ads. A free account supports clips up to 20 seconds and 600px, with a watermark; free accounts do not have ads. PRO plans support unlimited duration and up to 2K resolution, without watermarks or ads, and allow direct video uploads. Monthly PRO costs $5 a month, and annual PRO costs $50 a year. A non-recurring One-Time Pass costs $10, paid once for 60 days of access. PRO subscribers can also generate videos from text prompts using OpenAI Sora. Signed-in users can save creations to profiles and share image pages, while public images support likes, comments, feeds, and notifications.
