That moment deserves a GIF.

YTgify is an open-source Chrome extension that turns moments from YouTube videos into GIFs. Choose a segment inside the player, preview the loop, add text, and export it. It is currently available through manual installation as an unpacked extension.

Inside the player

Pick it. Loop it. Share it.

A focused creation workflow for turning YouTube moments into GIFs. Manual Chrome installation is required.

The job

Make the hard part explicit.

Making a GIF from a video can mean switching tools, copying links, and losing the exact moment you wanted. A separate editing workflow interrupts the simple act of sharing a reaction.

The approach

Build around the real workflow.

YTgify adds GIF creation to the YouTube player. Visual timeline controls help select the segment, a preview shows the loop, and text tools let you customize the result before export.

The distinction

Keep the product focused.

The workflow stays close to the video you are watching, with a local GIF library and multiple export options. The project is no longer listed in the Chrome Web Store; manual installation does not include automatic updates.

How it helps

A small tool with a clear job.

01

Pick the moment

Use draggable timeline markers to choose the start and end of your GIF.

02

Preview the loop

Check the selected clip before creating the final export.

03

Make it yours

Add text overlays with adjustable placement and styling.

04

Keep and share

Download the GIF, copy it to the clipboard, or keep it in your local library.
