GifGen is a web-based AI GIF generator for individuals and small teams creating reaction GIFs, stickers, profile animations, logos, and social content. It turns an uploaded image and a text description of motion into a looping animated GIF, with motion styles such as rotate, bounce, pulse, sway, spin, float, wave, glow, zoom, and shake. Users can also start with reusable GIF sticker templates.

Pricing is built around two paid options. Creator costs €9.99 per month and includes the Pro model, unlimited revisions, no watermark, and an unlimited commercial-use licence. The one-time purchase costs €6.99 and provides 1,000 credits without a subscription. The site also offers 30 credits without a card as a free trial. For recurring commercial work, Creator is the clearer fit; the one-time option suits buyers who prefer credits over monthly billing.

The editing layer gives GifGen more control than a prompt-only generator. Timeline tools support frame reordering and hiding, playback-speed changes, cropping, looping, and boomerang controls, while Standard and Smoother quality settings provide an additional output choice. GIFs and individual frames can be exported as PNG files. Platform and sharing support includes web, Android, WhatsApp, Keynote, Google Slides, Notion, Discord, TikTok, Instagram, and Telegram, with direct WhatsApp sticker import on Android. GifGen fits buyers who want paid image-to-GIF and sticker workflows; those needing video-to-GIF conversion or a permanent free plan should choose another tool.
