@iqaluit, at least as online tool. There are several utilities to convert video to gif, also eg.Lunapic can do it, but the conversion is always limited, because a 2MB mp4 can easy be converted but with an >100 MB gif as result, almost impoosible to share or host (reason why gif is often replaced with a much smaller webm file).
Because of this ezgif only admit the conversion until 30 sec (Lunapic max.100 frames) apart to adjust the gif, compressing and resizing it to more reasonables MBs.

Secure, zero-knowledge and client-side encrypted.
10 gb free- affordable lifetime options. I have more than one account to support the product because I believe the product deserves recognition and the people behind it a small group of honest, hard working enthusiasts.

What is your vote ?

@iqaluit , I tested Terabox. its works well, offers 1TB for free, but is sometimes somewhat annoying with occassional Pop ups. promoting to increase to 2 TB for €3.99/month. Not much money, but this, somewhat annoying if you don't need more than 1 TB, which anyway is the biggest for free out there, great for backups.

@Catweazle 1 TB is absolutely enough for me. Thanks a lot !!

I never understand why after so many years Mojeek still does not receive any attention that they deserve.

https://www.mojeek.com/

Almost 20 years of history, billions of pages already indexed and it is a true search engine which does not depend on any other like ddg, qwant, brave, startpage and swisscows.

It has its own crawler and first privacy focused search engine in the world.

It improved itself a lot over the last 5 years in particular now they also offer search with optional 13 other search engines in the market. And only a few of them may be considered better than Mojeek !

(Despite being independent, they allow users to search with other engines as well. )

@iqaluit, it's between my search engine list and I follow them also on Mastodon, nice people.
