About Time-Lapse
Time-Lapse is a free, browser-based utility designed to make this task as quick and frictionless as possible. Built to be the kind of tool you bookmark and use weekly: no surprises between visits, no degraded free tier, and a UI that gets out of the way. If you find yourself doing this regularly, the rest of the utility suite covers most adjacent tasks with the same approach.
