Turn any YouTube clip into an animated HD WebP or GIF, up to 2K, right in your browser. Most GIF makers top out well below that. GifRun leans on WebP, which keeps big, smooth animations far smaller than GIF at the same quality. Paste a link, pick the clip, add text, crop, done. No sign-up needed. Save to your own profile and share. š PH exclusive: code ANIMATED2K = free 7-day 2K pass. Samples: gifrun.com/show

Could you build this?
Partial The browser UI for cropping, text overlays, and WebP/GIF encoding is vibe-codeable, but fetching YouTube video at 2K needs a server-side downloader that is brittle and against YouTube's terms.
What it would actually take: The client needs an in-browser encoder such as ffmpeg.wasm or a WebCodecs pipeline for animated WebP and GIF. Getting the source clip requires a backend that resolves and proxies YouTube streams, which is fragile against anti-bot changes and raises legal issues. A sustainable version needs a legally clear video source or user uploads.
