What's the difference between Personal and Studio?

Personal ($39) is for one person — unlimited use on one active device at a time. Activate on a new device and the old one signs out. Studio ($199) is for teams and commercial client work — unlimited team members, early access to new tools, and a commercial license.

Do I need an account?

No. Use any tool free up to 5 times per day on compute-heavier tools, and unlimited on lightweight ones. No card, no account, no signup required.

Where are my files processed?

Right on your device. Files never upload to any server. Everything runs in your browser — you can verify in DevTools → Network.

What happens if I use my Personal license on a second device?

The new device activates and the old device signs out. Your license key stays the same — you just move it between devices as needed. No limit on how often you switch.

Does this work on my phone?

Yes. Every tool works on iPhone, Android, tablet, and desktop.

What if I want a refund?

30-day money-back guarantee on both tiers. No questions asked. Email sales@cipherforces.com.

Will you add more tools?

Yes. New tools ship regularly. Your license includes every tool we ever release — Studio members get early access.

About Video to GIF.

Turn a Video Clip Into an Animated GIF — Right in Your Browser

Drop in an MP4, WebM, MOV, or MKV, trim to the exact moment you want, and CipherForces Video to GIF encodes a looping animated GIF on the spot. You control the four things that actually matter: the start and end of the clip, the frame rate (how smooth the motion is), the output width (height scales automatically), and the color quality. A live readout shows the frame count and pixel dimensions before you commit, so there are no surprises.

Everything runs on your device. The video is decoded into a hidden player, seeked frame by frame onto a canvas, and each frame is quantized to a 256-color palette and written straight into the GIF — no server, no upload, no account. Because a long or high-resolution clip could otherwise exhaust memory, the tool caps the output width and total frame count and warns you when an export is getting heavy, so the tab stays responsive.

Common Use Cases

Product demos and UI clips: Turn a screen recording into a lightweight GIF that plays inline in a README, changelog, or support ticket.
Social and chat: Make a short reaction or highlight GIF for Slack, Discord, X, or a group chat without a watermark.
Email and docs: Embed a small looping animation where an autoplay video won't play — GIFs render everywhere.
Design and moodboards: Grab a few seconds of motion reference and drop it into Notion, Figma comments, or a brief.
Tutorials: Loop a single gesture or step so viewers can study it without scrubbing a video.

How It Works

Set your trim window with the Start and End sliders while the preview scrubs to match, choose a frame rate between 2 and 24 fps, and pick an output width up to 800px. The Quality control trades file size against detail by changing how many colors each frame keeps (64, 128, or 256). Hit convert and a progress bar tracks the encode as each frame is captured; the finished GIF appears as a live, looping preview you can download in one click. Prefer a smaller file? Lower the width or frame rate, or trim tighter — the frame count updates instantly.

Key Features

Precise trimming: Frame-accurate start and end points with a scrubbing preview.
Full control: Independent frame rate, output width, quality, and loop settings.
Memory-safe: Automatic caps on dimensions and frame count, with clear warnings on large exports.
Loop or play once: Toggle infinite looping on or off.
Broad format support: Reads MP4, WebM, MOV, MKV, and any video your browser can decode.

Privacy: The entire conversion happens locally in your browser using the canvas and the gifenc encoder. Your video never leaves your device and nothing is uploaded to any server.
