About vidgif

vidgif is a free video to GIF converter. It is written in Rust with the egui interface library, and runs as a desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux, and as a web app in your browser.

Why it exists

Many online GIF makers require you to upload your video to a server, wait in a queue, and then download a watermarked or low-quality result. vidgif does the whole conversion on your own device instead. It is faster, works offline once loaded, and your videos stay yours.

What it does

• Open a video by dragging it in or choosing a file.
• Trim it to the exact start and end you want, with a live preview.
• Set the frame rate, width in pixels, quality and playback speed.
• Choose whether the GIF repeats forever.
• See an estimated file size, convert, and save the GIF.
