About

GIF tools that respect your files

GifRush is a free collection of 50 GIF tools — from converting video to GIF to compressing, cropping and captioning. Unlike most online GIF makers, nothing you add is uploaded: every tool runs locally in your web browser.

How it works

When you drop a file into a tool, your browser reads it directly from your device. GIFs are decoded frame by frame in JavaScript, edited on an HTML Canvas, and re-encoded on a background Web Worker so the page stays responsive. Video is captured frame by frame with the browser’s own video decoder, and GIF to MP4 uses the WebCodecs API to encode H.264 video with your device’s hardware.

The encoder gives every frame its own optimised palette of up to 256 colours and uses frame diffing — only pixels that change are stored — which keeps GIFs both sharp and small.

Our principles

  • Private by design. No uploads, no accounts, no tracking of what you create.
  • Free, without catches. No watermarks, no file-count limits, no paywalled “HD”.
  • Honest output. Results show their real file size, and the compressor tells you when a GIF gets bigger instead of smaller.
  • Fast and accessible. Keyboard-friendly controls, light and dark themes, and pages that work on phones.
