GIFs are for reactions. For clips people watch with sound, ReelShift cuts every good moment of your stream, vertical and captioned, while you are still live.

You get a looping GIF that plays anywhere GIFs do. The tool shows its size first.
What makes a good GIF
- One moment, two to four seconds. The reaction, the fail, the face. A GIF loops, so the start and the end meet: cut it where the loop still makes sense.
- Square for reactions. Square GIFs sit well in chat and replies. Use the whole frame when the joke needs the game around it, and tall when it is going on a phone.
- Text only if it adds something. One short line, the caption people would type anyway.
- No sound, ever. GIFs cannot carry audio. If the moment is funny because of what was said, make a short vertical MP4 with sound using the free vertical clip tool instead.
Keeping the file small
GIF is an old format and gets heavy fast. Chat apps and social sites each cap how big an upload can be, and those caps change, so the tool shows the exact size before you download. If it is too big, three things shrink it, in this order: make it shorter, pick a smaller width, then drop the frame rate. A three second GIF at 320 wide and 15 frames a second is usually a small file.
Where to get the clip file
The tool works from a file on your computer. On Twitch you can download clips of your own channel; the steps are in how to download Twitch clips. Kick has a Download button on clips that saves an MP4; see how to download Kick clips. If it is someone else's stream, only post the GIF where they are fine with it, the same as with any clip.
Private, because nothing is uploaded
Your browser reads the clip and builds the GIF on your own computer. Nothing is sent to a server, which is also why it is free. It works best in a recent Chrome or Edge on a computer.
When you want clips, not just GIFs
A GIF is the reaction. The clip is what brings new viewers. ReelShift watches your stream on Twitch, Kick, YouTube or TikTok LIVE, picks the moments from what you say, loud moments and kills and wins on screen, and hands you vertical clips with word-synced captions while you are still live. Say "clip that" on stream to save the last 60 seconds yourself. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial.
Quick answers.
Is this GIF maker free?
Yes. No sign up, no watermark and no limit on how many GIFs you make.
Is my clip uploaded anywhere?
No. Your browser makes the GIF on your own computer. The clip never leaves it.
Does it work with Kick clips?
Yes. Download the clip from Kick as an MP4 and drop it in. Any MP4, MOV or WebM file works.
Does the GIF have sound?
No. GIFs never carry sound. If you want the moment with its sound, make a short vertical MP4 with the free vertical clip tool instead.
How do I make the GIF smaller?
Make it shorter, pick a smaller width or a lower frame rate. Each one cuts the file size. The tool shows the size before you download.
