Terms of Service
Welcome to GIF Toolkit. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the GIF Toolkit website, applications, premium features, and related services (collectively, the "Services").
Please read these Terms carefully before using GIF Toolkit. By accessing or using any part of our Services, you agree to be legally bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, you should discontinue using our Services.
These Terms apply to both free and premium users unless a section specifically states otherwise.
Who We Are
GIF Toolkit is an online platform that provides browser based tools for creating, editing, converting, optimizing, and managing GIF files and related media.
Our Services include free browser based tools, premium features unlocked through a valid license key, informational resources, and customer support.
If you have any questions regarding these Terms, you may contact us at:
Email: support@giftoolkit.com
Eligibility
GIF Toolkit is intended for users who are at least 18 years of age.
By using our Services, you represent and warrant that:
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You have the legal authority to enter into these Terms.
- You will use our Services in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.
- The information you provide to us is accurate and complete.
If you are using GIF Toolkit on behalf of a business or other legal entity, you confirm that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.
Acceptance of These Terms
By visiting our website, using any free tools, purchasing a premium license, submitting a contact request, or otherwise accessing our Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms.
Your continued use of GIF Toolkit after updates to these Terms constitutes acceptance of the revised version.
If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must stop using the Services immediately.
Description of Our Services
GIF Toolkit provides browser based utilities designed to help users create, edit, convert, optimize, analyze, and manage GIF files and other supported media formats.
Depending on the tool, our Services may allow you to:
- Create animated GIFs from images or videos.
- Convert GIFs into other supported formats.
- Convert supported media into GIFs.
- Compress, resize, crop, trim, split, merge, and optimize GIFs.
- Extract frames, metadata, color palettes, and other information.
- Add text, overlays, filters, and visual enhancements using supported premium tools.
- Access premium features after successful license activation.
We continuously improve our Services and may add, modify, suspend, or discontinue tools or features at any time without prior notice.
Browser Based Processing
GIF Toolkit is designed around browser based processing.
Unless a specific tool clearly states otherwise, supported files are processed directly within your web browser instead of being uploaded to our servers.
This approach helps improve privacy, reduces unnecessary data transfers, and allows you to maintain greater control over your files.
Temporary browser memory may be used while a tool is actively processing your files. This temporary data is managed by your browser and is generally removed when processing is complete or your browsing session ends.
Although our Services are designed for local processing whenever possible, certain features such as license verification, payment processing, analytics, or customer support may require communication with our servers or trusted third party service providers.
User Responsibilities
You are responsible for how you use the GIF Toolkit and the content you choose to process.
By using our Services, you agree that you will:
- Use the Services only for lawful purposes.
- Respect the intellectual property and privacy rights of others.
- Ensure you have the necessary rights or permissions to process the files you use.
- Keep your license key confidential.
- Provide accurate information when contacting support or purchasing premium features.
- Maintain the security of your own devices, browsers, and internet connection.
You remain solely responsible for all files, media, and content you choose to process using GIF Toolkit.
Acceptable Use
To protect our Services and all users, you agree not to:
- Use GIF Toolkit for any unlawful, fraudulent, or deceptive activity.
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems or infrastructure.
- Distribute malware, viruses, or other harmful software through our Services.
- Interfere with the operation, security, or availability of the website.
- Attempt to bypass, disable, or interfere with licensing, security, or payment systems.
- Copy, scrape, reverse engineer, or exploit our Services except where permitted by applicable law.
- Use automated systems in a manner that places unreasonable demands on our infrastructure.
- Misrepresent your identity or falsely claim an affiliation with another person or organization.
- Use the Services in any way that violates applicable laws or regulations.
We reserve the right to investigate suspected misuse and take appropriate action, including restricting access to our Services where necessary.
Availability of the Services
We aim to keep the GIF Toolkit available and operating reliably. However, we do not guarantee uninterrupted access at all times.
The Services may occasionally be unavailable due to:
- Scheduled maintenance.
- Software updates.
- Technical issues.
- Security incidents.
- Internet or hosting provider outages.
- Events beyond our reasonable control.
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time without creating an obligation to continue offering a specific feature.
Feedback and Suggestions
We welcome feedback, ideas, and suggestions that help improve the GIF Toolkit.
If you voluntarily provide feedback, feature requests, or suggestions, you grant GIF Toolkit a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual license to use, modify, implement, and incorporate those suggestions into our Services without compensation or obligation to you.
This provision does not transfer ownership of your personal files or other intellectual property.
Premium Features and License Keys
GIF Toolkit offers both free and premium tools. Premium features become available after a valid license has been successfully activated.
Each premium purchase includes a unique license key that is used to verify your access to eligible premium features.
Your license key is intended solely for your own use. While your license may be activated on unlimited personal devices, you are responsible for keeping your license key secure and preventing unauthorized sharing.
We reserve the right to suspend or revoke a license if we reasonably believe it has been obtained through fraud, unauthorized payment activity, or is being distributed in violation of these Terms.
License Activation
Premium features require online license verification.
When you enter your license key, our licensing system verifies its validity before granting access to premium features. This process helps protect both our customers and our Services from unauthorized use.
License verification is limited to information necessary to validate your license. It does not include the GIFs, images, videos, or other files you process using GIF Toolkit.
A valid internet connection may be required during activation or periodic license verification.
Unlimited Device Usage
Unless otherwise stated at the time of purchase, premium licenses may be activated on an unlimited number of your own devices.
Unlimited device usage does not permit:
- Sharing license keys publicly.
- Selling or transferring license keys to others.
- Including your license key in public repositories, websites, or software.
- Allowing unrelated individuals to use the same purchased license.
We reserve the right to investigate abnormal activation patterns that indicate misuse or abuse of the licensing system.
Payments
Payments for premium licenses are securely processed through Polar, our authorized Merchant of Record.
Polar is responsible for processing payment transactions, collecting applicable taxes where required, issuing invoices where applicable, and handling payment information securely.
GIF Toolkit does not receive or store your complete payment card details.
By purchasing a premium license, you also agree to comply with Polar's applicable terms and payment requirements.
Pricing
All prices displayed on GIF Toolkit are shown in the currency presented at checkout.
Prices, discounts, promotional offers, and premium plans may be updated at any time without prior notice.
Changes to pricing do not affect purchases that have already been completed unless otherwise required by applicable law.
Refunds
Refund requests are governed by our separate Refund Policy.
Unless otherwise specified, eligible refund requests must be submitted within seven (7) days of purchase.
Refund eligibility may depend on factors including payment status, license activation history, suspected fraud, abuse of the licensing system, chargeback activity, or other circumstances described in our Refund Policy.
Approved refunds may result in the permanent deactivation of the associated license key.
Free Services
Many GIF Toolkit tools are available free of charge.
Free tools are provided on an "as available" basis and may be modified, limited, or discontinued at any time without notice.
Availability of free features does not create any obligation for GIF Toolkit to continue offering those services indefinitely.
Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise stated, all rights, title, and interest in GIF Toolkit, including its software, source code, design, branding, logos, graphics, user interface, written content, documentation, and other materials, are owned by or licensed to GIF Toolkit.
These Terms do not transfer ownership of any intellectual property rights to users.

By using our Services, you represent and warrant that:

You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the Services does not violate copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other legal rights.
