GIF Master
Create, compress, and record GIFs in your browser
GIF Master brings the most common GIF workflows into one browser-based workspace. Turn videos into GIFs, record your screen, compress single or batch GIFs, and create countdown GIFs without installing software. Unlike single-purpose tools, GIF Master helps you create, optimize, and export GIFs in one place with a faster and more privacy-friendly workflow.
Hi Product Hunt! I’m a technical builder from the pre-AI era, and I’ve always been obsessed with one idea: can software that traditionally lived on the desktop truly move into the browser, without relying on server-side processing?
GIF Master started from a very personal need. I wanted to make a few custom GIF reactions for myself, but most online GIF tools I tried required uploading videos, images, or GIFs to their servers.
That was the dealbreaker for me.
A lot of GIF workflows involve surprisingly private content: personal photos, selfies, family moments, screen recordings, chats, work interfaces, and media that people simply don’t want leaving their device. For something as lightweight as making a GIF, uploading all of that to someone else’s backend never felt right.
So I built GIF Master around one strict principle: 100% browser-side local processing.
No file uploads.
No server-side processing.
No sending private media to a backend.
That’s what makes GIF Master different. Video to GIF, GIF compression, batch compression, countdown GIFs, and screen recording all happen 100% locally in the browser.
And even the final GIF download is local. The file is generated and downloaded directly from your browser’s local memory, not returned from a server.
The idea is simple: privacy shouldn’t be the price you pay for convenience.
More browser-native, privacy-first local tools are already in development, so if there’s a feature or workflow you’d love to see built this way, I’d love to hear it.
