EzGIF requires uploading your videos to their servers—slow for large files and a privacy risk. Our tool processes everything locally in your browser. No uploads, instant processing, and your videos never leave your computer.
EzGIF is a popular online tool, but it requires uploading your video to their servers. For a 500MB video, this means waiting 5-10 minutes for upload, then more time for processing. More importantly, your video is stored on someone else's servers—a privacy concern for personal footage, confidential work, or sensitive content.
Our tool uses 100% client-side processing. Your video never leaves your computer. Everything happens in your browser's memory. This means instant processing (no upload wait), no file size limits, and complete privacy. We can't access your files even if we wanted to—we never receive them.

Notice the upload delay with EzGIF vs instant start with our tool
Server-based, slow process
Click "Choose File" and select your video. EzGIF will warn you if file exceeds size limit (typically 50MB).
For a 500MB video, wait 5-10 minutes for upload to complete. Slower internet = longer wait. Upload can fail if connection drops.
After upload, wait for server to process video. Time varies based on server load and queue position.
Set frame rate, quality, and output format. Options may be limited compared to desktop tools.
Server generates frames and packages them. Another wait period before download is ready.
Download the processed ZIP file. For large videos, download time adds to total delay.
Your video remains on EzGIF's servers. unclear when/if it's deleted. Risk of data breach or unauthorized access.
Local, instant process
Simply drag your video file into the upload box. No file size limits. Processing starts immediately—no upload wait.
Select extraction method (time interval or frame rate), output format (PNG/JPG/WebP), and quality using visual controls.
Frames appear instantly in preview gallery. Click individual frames or hit "Download ZIP" for all. Done in seconds.
Your video never left your computer. No server storage, no privacy risk. Complete control over your data.
When you use EzGIF or similar server-based tools, you're granting them a license to store and process your video. For personal videos—family moments, children's footage, private events—this is an unacceptable privacy risk.
