The service

PhotoToGIF is a digital software service delivered over the internet. After payment is confirmed, purchased credits are added to the signed-in account used for checkout. No physical goods are shipped. If credits do not appear, contact support@phototogif.com with your order number.

PhotoToGIF lets you create and download GIFs from photos in the browser. Private cloud saves, when you choose them, store a copy of a finished GIF. Limits can apply. The free multi-photo editor does not use the AI model.

AI GIF generation is for a signed-in user who already has credits. A new account created with Google receives 3 free credits once, valid for 30 days. An account created with email starts at 0 credits. Free credits have no cash value. A default job is 720p and 5 seconds for 10 credits. The AI generator is not for animating photos of real people. Output quality and availability depend on the model provider and can change. AI output may be inaccurate or unexpected.

Prices and what each setting costs are on the pricing page.

The model

AI GIFs are generated using the TBC Mischief 1 image-to-video model, accessed through fal.ai (API model identifier: tbc/mischief-1/image-to-video). PhotoToGIF is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by TBC, fal, or the model provider.

Payments

AI Credits — 180 costs US$9 once and grants 180 credits valid for 90 days from purchase. It does not renew and there is no subscription to cancel. A card is charged only when checkout is enabled and you finish checkout.

Our order process is conducted by our online reseller and merchant of record, Waffo Pancake (operated by Waffo.com Limited). The purchase is one-time US$9 for 180 credits, valid 90 days, and it is not a subscription. Waffo Pancake processes payments, handles billing, issues receipts and invoices, and handles payment-related customer service and refunds for purchases made on PhotoToGIF. Payment card data is processed by Waffo Pancake and is never stored on our servers.

The final amount, including any applicable taxes, is shown before payment. Credits have no cash value and cannot be transferred or redeemed for cash, except where applicable law requires otherwise. Refund requests follow our Refund Policy. Closing your account does not automatically reverse a completed payment.

A purchased grant expires 90 days after it is added. The credits page in your account shows that expiry date when the page is available. Credits already added keep the expiry stored on that grant. The pricing page is the list that applies to a new purchase.

If we close the service, we will tell signed-in account holders at support@phototogif.com how unused purchased credits will be handled.

Your content

Only use material you own or have permission to use, including permission from the people depicted. You retain the rights you have in that material. As between you and PhotoToGIF, you may use the GIFs and videos you make with the service, including AI results, for any lawful purpose, including commercial use such as ads, product listings and social posts, and PhotoToGIF claims no ownership of them. This does not give you rights in third-party material in your source photo, such as a person, a logo or artwork, that you do not already hold, and AI output may not be protected by copyright in every country. You permit PhotoToGIF to store and deliver a GIF you choose to save, and to send an AI source image and prompt to the provider solely to make that result. You are responsible for the activity in your account.

Credits

Credits are spent when a job is accepted. Eligible failed jobs return credits unless you delete the job. Returned credits are not cash. A succeeded job is not refunded. A result that is still waiting to be saved is not refunded by that error. A video that is too large to store is not refunded by that error. Deleting a queued or running job gives up that refund. Returned credits are not cash.

The full Refund Policy is part of these terms.

Acceptable use and availability

Follow the Acceptable Use Policy. The AI generator is not for animating photos of real people. We may limit, suspend, or close features or accounts to address abuse or service issues, including by stopping new AI jobs, subject to applicable law. If we change these terms, the date at the top of this page changes. Keep a local copy of files you want to retain.

Liability

The service is provided as is and as available. We do not guarantee that a generation will succeed, match your prompt, or be available at all times. To the maximum extent permitted by the laws of the People's Republic of China (mainland China), our liability for a claim about the service is limited to the amount you paid us for it in the 12 months before the claim. If you have not been charged, that amount is zero. Nothing in these terms limits rights that cannot be excluded under applicable law.
