Gifox 2: GIF Maker & Editor

macOS / Photo et vidéo

Gifox is a beautifully designed and masterfully crafted app for creating and editing animated GIFs – the great alternative between static images and full-size videos. It's your best companion for:

- Short product demos and screencasts
- Animated instructions and bug reporting
- Batch video and image sequence conversion
- Existing GIF editing and optimization


BASIC AND PRO VERSIONS

Gifox comes in two versions: Basic and Pro. The Basic version includes all features of the Pro, but has a recording limit and adds a small watermark to exported GIFs – it's completely free with no trials, signups, ads, or hidden annoyances. To remove restrictions and support ongoing app development, it can be upgraded to the Pro version via an in-app purchase – a one-time payment without subscriptions.

- [Basic & Pro] Unlimited imports and conversions
- [Basic & Pro] Unlimited edits and re-exports
- [Basic] 10-second screen recording limit
- [Basic] Tiny foxy “Made with Gifox” watermark
