What is Website to GIF?
website-to-gif is a GitHub Action that converts webpages into animated GIFs or WebP files. It automates the process of capturing screenshots while scrolling or at timed intervals, then stitches them together into a single animated file. This solves the problem of manually creating visual demos or documentation assets for projects.
Developers and technical writers who need to generate animated previews of web applications for README files, documentation, or marketing materials directly within their GitHub workflows.
Developers choose website-to-gif because it integrates natively with GitHub Actions, requires no external services, and offers fine-grained control over the capture process. Its open-source nature and configurability make it a flexible alternative to manual or paid screenshot-to-video tools.
