What it is
MakeAGIF is a web service for making animated GIFs from pictures, video uploads, YouTube or Facebook URLs, and webcam recordings. The picture editor includes resizing, transparency preservation, captions, stickers, filters, and speed settings. For YouTube clips, users can set start and end times, GIF length, speed, quality, audio and subtitle options, and a ping-pong effect. The site has separate creation pages for YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, and Twitch sources. A free account can keep GIFs together in one place, and registration is not required for necessary website features; signup options include email, Facebook, or Twitter. Anonymous and free accounts can upload up to 10 seconds of video, while Premium allows up to 20 seconds. Premium benefits listed by the service include HD GIFs, no advertisements, personalized watermarks, lifetime saved GIFs, faster editing and uploading, and social links, but no Premium price is listed. GIF export can be watermark-free and transparent. The service is available through a web browser, Chrome extension, and API; screen recording is not supported.
