User reviews

Users praise GIFit! for its ease of use, high-quality GIF output, and seamless YouTube integration, especially valuing it for teaching and casual use. Common issues include duplicate button icons, an unwanted black frame at GIF endings, rounding of start/end times limiting precision, and intermittent functionality problems such as stopping mid-process or redirecting to the Chrome store. While generally effective, these recurring bugs affect user experience and suggest room for improvement.

amazing. Has to render frames... but it makes sense why. Theres two buttons as said below tho...

Decent extension, does the job. But it appears to inject itself into the navbar twice, resulting in two "GIFit!" buttons at the very right.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

GIFit! requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.
