Vid2Gif

Vid2Gif is a desktop application for converting videos to GIFs. It is built with Tauri and SvelteKit.

Features

Tools like Gifski and ezgif exist. Vid2Gif offers more advanced features in an all-in-one, local package.

• Broader Format Support: Works with many input video formats out of the box, with no file size constraints.
• Precision Editing: Select exact start and end frames and crop the video within the app.
• Advanced Quality Control: Exposes fine-grained quality settings usually found in CLI programs, presented in a graphical interface.
• All-in-One & Local: Process files locally without uploading to online services. Files stay on your machine.
• Cross-Platform: Runs natively via Tauri.

Usage

For macOS, you can download the prebuilt binary from the releases page. For other operating systems, you will need to build the application yourself.
