GIF Tools is a free online toolkit built for content creators, developers, designers, and anyone who works with multimedia files. It provides over 40 tools for editing GIFs, converting video and audio formats, compressing images, downloading videos from social media, and more.

Files never leave your device. All processing uses WebAssembly in your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is GIF Tools completely free?
Yes. Every tool on this site is 100% free to use with no watermarks, no file size limits, no account required, and no hidden fees.
Do my files get uploaded to a server?
No. GIF editing, image conversion, video processing, and audio tools all run locally in your browser using WebAssembly (ffmpeg.wasm). Your files never leave your device. The only tools that require a network connection are the Video Downloader (yt-dlp), Video Transcriber (OpenAI Whisper API), and URL Shortener.
What formats are supported?
For images: JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, SVG, BMP, ICO, AVIF, HEIC/HEIF. For video: MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI, MKV, 3GP, FLV. For audio: MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG, M4A, AAC, OPUS.
Why is processing sometimes slow?
All video and GIF processing runs client-side using WebAssembly, which is slower than native applications. Large files (over 100MB) or complex operations (frame interpolation, 4K video) can take several minutes. Smaller files and simpler operations are fast.
Can I use GIF Tools on mobile?
Yes. All tools work on modern mobile browsers. WebAssembly is supported on Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge on iOS and Android.
