About GifChop - Capture & Annotate Video Clips
GifChop lets you keep a highlight worth sharing while something is playing. On a supported video page, you can save the picture on screen or record a short stretch, then adjust it and keep creating. This happens in the browser. The picture and the result are not uploaded.
What you can do
- Pull a shareable clip from a tutorial, a demo, or a moment in the video
- Add text, arrows, shapes, blur, and numbered steps so the point is obvious
- Crop the edges, resize, rotate, and reorder frames
- Drag handles on the preview to move, resize, or rotate an annotation
- Export a file that stays on your computer
How to use it
Open a supported video site and play a video. GifChop adds buttons on the player.
Record a clip, set a start and end time, or snapshot the current frame. Shortcuts: snapshot S, record G, range R.
Trim and annotate in the full-screen editor, then export.
The editor keeps undo and redo. The interface can follow your browser language, or you can switch it from the editor header.
Privacy
All video processing in GifChop happens locally in the browser. Video decoding, editing, compression, and GIF encoding are not uploaded to a server.
Limitations
GifChop can only work with frames the current page can read. Some ads, protected content, or special player content may not be captured.
FAQ
Does GifChop upload my video?
No. Video and GIF processing all happen locally in the browser. You do not need to upload a video.
Can I make a GIF directly from a video site?
Yes. After installing the extension, you can use snapshot, record, and precise range capture tools directly on supported HTML5 video players across popular video platforms.
Can I add text and arrows?
Yes. The full-screen editor supports text, arrows, shapes, blur, numbered steps, and image overlays.
Can I compress a GIF?
Yes. GifChop includes local smart compression, and you can compare file size before and after compression before export.
Can I extract a single frame from a video?
Yes. You can take a single-frame snapshot, or extract stills in batch and export them as a ZIP.
Is GIF recording paid?
Recording stays free.

V 1.0.1
- Added onboarding tips and a step-by-step tutorial to help you get started with screenshots, GIF recording, and range capture. Also expanded support for more video sites so you can clip moments on more pages.
V 1.0.2
- New local Video to GIF: pick a video from your device, choose a clip, and turn it into a GIF—then open it in the on-device GIF editor to trim and annotate. Everything stays on your computer; nothing is uploaded. Also improves large-file opening and multi-language UI.
V 1.0.3
- Fixed a brief black thumbnail/preview flash when opening the GIF editor after recording or range capture, so the first frame loads more cleanly and feels less like a failed load.
v1.0.4
- Improved capture button visibility so it only appears on watch pages, avoiding Studio/upload and similar non-watch contexts.
