Major GIF Master releases, improvements, and fixes, shown in reverse chronological order.
Improved target-size compression for better GIF quality
GIF Compressor and Batch GIF Compressor now provide more accurate target-size control, keeping output within the selected size limit while preserving better visual quality.
GIF background removal adds cross-frame editing, edge refinement, and local background removal
Frame editing now lets you apply changes to the current frame, the same area in following frames, or all frames. It also adds edge refinement and local background removal for cleaning difficult areas, with four-direction canvas panning and a thumbnail navigator for precise work after zooming.
Convert still or animated WebP files into widely compatible GIFs, with controls for size, speed, quality, and background handling. Multiple files can be processed locally and downloaded individually or as a ZIP.
Convert animated GIFs to WebP while keeping the complete animation and transparent pixels when supported. Choose an output quality and download the result directly in your browser.
Turn an animated GIF into one APNG file with smoother color and transparency support. The conversion runs locally in the browser and supports multiple GIF files.
Export GIF frames as JPG images when you need still images without GIF transparency. Choose the frames to export, set the JPG quality and background, then download individual files or a ZIP.
Create an animated GIF from one or more PNG images. Arrange the frame order, adjust timing, choose a size and background, and export the animation locally in your browser.
Convert GIF animations into MP4, WebM, or MOV video files for easier sharing, playback, and editing. The editor keeps the original timing and offers browser-based export options.
Extract still PNG images from an animated GIF, choose individual frames or export a complete sequence, and download the results locally without uploading the source file.
Added a GIF blur workflow with a simple full-GIF default, multiple local areas, separate time segments, Pixelate and Redact effects, locally saved results, and per-result or ZIP downloads.
Added a 3, 5, or 10 second preparation time before screen recording starts. After choosing a tab, window, or screen in the browser sharing dialog, the countdown gives you time to switch to the target and prepare it. The countdown is not included in the saved video.
Improved the Video to GIF timeline experience so dragging the main trim range, playback marker, and layer timing controls feels smoother while the video preview still snaps to the final selected frame after dragging.
Added a browser-side GIF background removal workflow for simple solid-color backgrounds, including auto color detection, manual cleanup tools, transparent GIF export, saved local history, and a direct handoff into GIF Compressor.
Added a countdown GIF generator that lets you create short countdown GIFs directly in the browser, customize the title, colors, labels, and layout, and set a custom duration in seconds or minutes up to 10 minutes before downloading the final animation.
Improved the online screen recorder with local history recovery, clearer unsupported-device messaging before recording starts, and more complete help around audio capture, GIF creation, and next steps after recording.
Batch GIF compression now supports per-file tuning
Batch GIF compression now lets you set parameters for each file separately, restore saved results back into the task list, and manage selected downloads with a cleaner ZIP export flow.
GIF compression adds custom names and a unified results list
GIF compression now supports custom export filenames, a smoother reset-settings flow when trying a new target size, and one clearer result list that combines fresh outputs with saved local records.
Video to GIF now uses a smoother popup login flow, restores editing drafts from local browser storage after refresh, and relies on the shared download access gate for more consistent login and credit checks.
Added an online screen recorder that can capture a browser tab, a window, or the full screen with no installation, then let you download the video or continue directly into GIF creation while keeping the recording local in the browser.
Added a batch GIF compression workflow so multiple GIF files can be uploaded and compressed in one place, with ZIP download support and a clearer separation between active tasks and saved results.
Added target-size GIF compression with width, height, and frame-drop controls, practical resize presets with input validation, and local result history so finished outputs can be reviewed and downloaded later.
Expanded the Video to GIF editor with text, shapes, arrows, emoji, and mosaic annotations, while also improving preview and export flow for demos and tutorials and keeping processing local in the browser.
