Both help with everyday image jobs. Here's an honest breakdown so you can pick by privacy and workflow — not by ads.

Browse Fogkits tools GIF Compressor Image Converter

Quick take

Choose Ezgif when you need a large GIF/animation toolbox and you are fine uploading non-sensitive files.
Choose Fogkits when you want browser-local still-image workflows (HEIC→JPG, compress, crop and resize) or local GIF compression. Passport photo and background removal upload images for server-side processing; they are not local tools.

Does Ezgif upload HEIC?

Check the current Ezgif HEIC converter and privacy policy for its processing method and retention. Fogkits Image Converter performs HEIC→JPG conversion in your browser without uploading the image.
