Is GIF Maker | Gifzz safe?

Clean risk

GIF Maker | Gifzz captures the active tab and uploads the generated GIF to gifzz.com when signed-in users save.

The recorder UI starts Chrome tab capture for the active tab, stores captured frames and crop coordinates in local extension storage, then opens the editor. When a signed-in user creates a GIF, the editor sends the rendered image.gif as form data to https://gifzz.com/api/gifs with the user's bearer token; unsigned users get a local blob URL instead.
