GIF Studio: create and edit GIFs

Create a GIF from a video or still images, or edit an existing GIF. You can trim, crop, resize, add a caption, reverse playback, and change speed. Preview the result, then export as GIF, MP4, WebM, transparent MOV, or APNG. You can also save individual frames as PNG images.

GIF Studio is free to use in your browser. You do not need an account or a software installation, and exports have no added watermark.

Open a video or select several PNG, JPEG, or WebP images. For a video, trim the section you want to keep. For images, arrange the frames and set how long each one appears. Choose GIF as the export format, preview your animation, then export and download it.

Use a shorter clip, reduce the output dimensions, or lower the export frame rate. Smaller dimensions reduce detail, while fewer frames can make motion less smooth. If you do not need the GIF format, MP4 or WebM will often produce a smaller file.

GIF supports fully transparent pixels, but not partially transparent edges. Use APNG or WebM for smooth transparency on websites, or ProRes 4444 MOV for QuickTime and video editors such as CapCut and Premiere Pro. MP4 exports fill transparent areas with black.

Editing animations requires memory for decoded frames. Large or long videos may ask you to choose a shorter section, smaller working size, or lower frame rate before import. The amount you can process also depends on your device and browser.

WebM

Video with transparency for players and browsers that support it. Enable looping in your player.

GIF

Widely compatible and loops automatically; usually larger files.

MP4

Widely supported video. Transparent areas become black; looping is a player setting.

APNG

Full color with smooth transparency; often a larger file.

Your files stay on your computer. Download your exports before refreshing or closing the tab.

Yes. GIF Studio combines animation editing with AI background removal and a built-in Clip Merge step for smoothing the loop restart. Trim, crop, resize, caption, reverse, or change speed, then remove the background or smooth the jump from the last frame back to the first in the same project. Everything runs locally in your browser, with no account or added watermark.

EZGIF's documented background remover removes a selected color using a color picker and tolerance controls. GIF Studio offers both green-screen removal and AI subject separation, so you can remove a background that contains more than one color. Apply the result back to your animation and export a transparent GIF, WebM, APNG, or MOV from the same project.

EZGIF can join clips and offers transition effects in its video mixer. GIF Studio brings Clip Merge into your animation project through Smooth the loop restart. It prepares the end and beginning of your loop for a transition, and you can use RIFE AI to generate intermediate frames or automatic alignment and color correction to soften the jump. Apply the result back to your GIF and continue editing or exporting in the same workspace.
