Description

What the GIF is a free, in-browser GIF and video editor that never uploads your file. Drop in a video, a photo, or an existing GIF and turn it into a clean GIF, MP4, or APNG, with frame-accurate trimming, a multi-clip timeline, captions, filters, and more.

The entire conversion runs inside your browser tab, so nothing is ever sent to a server, and the site's security policy enforces that. It does what ezgif does, but private: no signup, no account, no watermark, no install. No need to worry about sketchy downloads, IT or security. Made for creatives who present for a living.
