Good tools for gifs?

Post by Vaking Voda »

I'd like to know a good tool for making gifs, GIMP, already has bad UX, and is limiting on gif fps, Ezgif, is a website, and is really limiting, and… that's all I know.

Bonus points for webp, apng, jxl support!

Did you try Photopea ? It’s a free Photoshop clone website, I use it sometimes for making gifs

I've been using ScreenToGif sometimes. Has a lot of features and the ability to automatically smooth loop a gif (you have to tinker with it though).

I normally use ffmpeg (terminal tool) since sometimes I need to do various gifs with different images, since this is for terminals it can help to make the process more automatic.

If you're just recording your screen, ShareX is the way to go. You can screen record region, fullscreen, and encode as mp4 or GIF.

Otherwise, Photoshop has a timeline feature but is obviously clunky.. Gif Movie Gear is a program intended for GIFs. Was used a lot back in the day around the 2000s ish and even was recommended by MSFT to icon creators and the sort, but it is a paid software... Not much choice to be honest in the GIFsphere, very outdated format and ezgif is a godsend of the website that does all the things you really need. if ezgif cant do it, GIF is probably not the right format.......
