About GifGun

GifGun is an export plugin for After Effects that converts compositions into GIF, WEBP, WEBM and MP4 files from a single interface. It supports batch rendering of multiple comps and includes a target file size option that automatically reaches exact size limits. Smart compression typically reduces file size by about 15% while maintaining quality. Users can create and share custom render presets stored as JSON. The plugin runs on After Effects 2021 and later, on macOS 15 or newer and Windows 10/11, with native Apple Silicon support. Version 2.2.0 (released February 18, 2026) adds stability improvements, UI tweaks, a new GIF size‑optimization algorithm, Sharp YUV mode for WEBP, and 2‑pass rendering for MP4.
