AI GIF Maker for VS Code

Turn text into animated GIFs with AI GIF Maker. Native GIF generation — no video conversion. Type what you want and download your GIF in about a minute.

This is the official extension for AI GIF Maker: write a prompt in the command palette and the finished .gif lands in your workspace. With a Markdown file open (a README, docs, a changelog), the image link is inserted at the cursor, so a demo GIF for your project is one command away.

Command What it does
AI GIF Maker: Generate GIF Prompt in, GIF saved to assets/ (configurable); a Markdown image link is inserted if a Markdown file is open
AI GIF Maker: Show Credits Credits left on your account (free to call)
AI GIF Maker: Set API Key Stores your key in VS Code's secret storage

Setup

  1. Sign in on aigifmaker.ai and create a key at aigifmaker.ai/settings/apikeys.
  2. Run AI GIF Maker: Set API Key and paste it. (AIGIFMAKER_API_KEY in the environment works too.)

One GIF costs 1 credit, the same as on the website; every new account gets one free GIF (with an aigifmaker.ai badge), and a failed GIF gives its credit back. Credit packs and plans: aigifmaker.ai/pricing.

Want a GIF that fits Discord's emoji limits, or one with a name on it? The site has a Discord emoji maker and a happy birthday GIF with name maker.
