Score: 6.3/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 7, Documentation: 6, Utility: 6)

Steal-a-GIF is a browser-based tool that extracts clean, loopable, and cropped GIFs from screen recordings of animations on locked-down platforms like WeChat or TikTok. It solves hard problems like loop detection, auto-crop, and budget-constrained encoding entirely client-side, making it a clever utility for everyday GIF creation without uploads or accounts.

Target audience: general users, content creators
