Video or frames
MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV — or a stack of PNG/JPG/WebP images stitched at any fps.
The public GIF library turns your clip into ad inventory the moment it hits its server. The meme sites stamp a .com across the bottom unless you upgrade. The old converter looks like a 2007 forum and serves three banner positions per scroll. Morph runs FFmpeg-class palette generation directly in your browser tab — two-pass palettegen plus paletteuse with Bayer dithering and Lanczos scaling, the same pipeline professional editors run from the command line. No upload, no watermark, no ad on top of your loop. Free for everything that runs on your device; AI is paid in credits.
First pass analyzes the clip's color distribution and builds an optimal 256-color palette. Second pass applies it with Bayer dithering for smooth gradients. The difference vs. a single-pass GIF is the difference between a postcard and a polaroid.
Crisp edges down to 240px and below, no mush. Trim, crop, set fps, set loop count, set boomerang.
MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV — or a stack of PNG/JPG/WebP images stitched at any fps.
Nothing branded onto your loop. Ever.
The big GIF library is owned by a stock-media company now, and every clip uploaded becomes searchable inventory in its public catalog — fine for a meme, hostile for a product reel or a private moment from a wedding. The old converter works but its single-pass palette is visibly noisier than two-pass output, and the page is a wall of banner ads that pop into the layout while you're picking a frame. Morph runs a two-pass palette in your browser tab, which means the file quality matches what a video editor would render from a desktop FFmpeg command — and the file never leaves your machine.
The big GIF library's discovery — finding a meme reaction GIF for Slack, embedding into a tweet, the whole social distribution layer — is mature and useful. Morph is the maker, not the library. If you want to publish to a public catalog, post to the library after you export from Morph. If you want a clean loop for a deck, an iMessage reaction, a documentation site, or a private moment, Morph keeps it on your machine.
No. Morph never adds branding, watermarks, or hidden metadata to exports.
Visibly cleaner. The GIF sites render single-pass palettes by default — fast but noisy on gradients. Morph runs two-pass palettegen+paletteuse with Bayer dithering, which is the same pipeline used by FFmpeg power users on the command line.
Video: MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, AVI. Image sequences: PNG, JPG, WebP, BMP. Drop any combination and Morph stitches them at the frame rate you set.
Yes. Toggle reverse, ping-pong, or set a custom loop count from one to infinite.
Up to a few hundred megabytes comfortably on desktop. Mobile browsers vary by device memory. The hard cap is your machine, not Morph.
