GifGun 2 is an After Effects tool that turns a composition into a GIF in one click, without the long trip through other apps. The current version also exports WEBP, WEBM and MP4 files, includes compression that keeps files small, and can render several comps in a batch. The same license also covers a standalone desktop app and a web app, so you can convert existing videos when After Effects is closed. Updated Aug 20, 2026.

Does one license cover the standalone app?
