🎞️ Your website greets visitors differently at 9am than it does at 9pm. WidgetGIF is a professional design tool that lets you create animated widgets with four distinct time frames — Morning, Afternoon, Evening, and Night — each with its own design, vibe, and message. When embedded on your website, email, or bio page, the right frame shows automatically based on your visitor's local time. No server. No code. Just paste and go.
🎬 Built-in GIF Library — Connect your free GIPHY account API (Developers page) and search millions of GIFs from movies, TV shows, viral moments, and trending content. Use a dramatic film clip for your evening frame, a coffee GIF for mornings, a celebration loop for afternoons. Filter by category: Reactions, Movies, TV Shows, Morning, Celebration, Chill, Animals, and more.
🎨 Full Design Control — Every frame is fully customizable:
Solid color, gradient (angle + two colors), uploaded image, or animated GIF background
Overlay color and opacity to keep text readable over any background
Pick from 100+ emojis organized by category, with position grid and offset controls
Up to 4 text layers per frame — choose from 8 premium fonts (Montserrat, Playfair Display, Merriweather, Oswald, Raleway, Poppins, Lato, Inter), set size, color, bold/italic, alignment, and position
Text shadow and vignette effects
Rounded corners from 0 to 60px
Canvas size presets: Square, Banner Wide, Card, Leaderboard, Tall Banner, Mobile Banner, and more
📋 6 Premium Templates — Jump-start your design with professionally crafted presets: Cozy Coffee Shop, Neon City, Botanical Garden, Ocean Sunrise, Minimal Monochrome, and Vintage Americana. Each template includes all four time frames, fully coordinated.
⬇️ Three Export Options:
Animated GIF — loops through all four frames, ready to drop anywhere
HTML Embed — a self-contained code snippet that detects your visitor's local time and shows the right frame automatically. Works in websites, Etsy shop banners, Notion embeds, email templates, and bio links. No server required — the images are baked right into the code
PNG Frames — download each time frame as a full-resolution PNG, individually or all at once
⏱️ Fully Customizable Time Ranges — Set exactly when each frame activates. Make Morning run 5am–10am, or shrink Evening to just golden hour. Night fills whatever hours are left.
🔌 Works Completely Offline — The app is a single HTML file. Design, preview, and export without any internet connection. Only the GIF library search requires internet (via your GIPHY account).
🖥️ Zero Installation — Open in any browser. No app stores, no updates, no subscriptions. Buy once, use forever.
