Video to GIF

Video to GIF is an application for Windows that does just what the name points out: it takes videos and converts them to GIF animations. The nice thing about using this application is that converting videos to GIF animations is an incredibly simple, a quite effortless process.

And speaking about an effortless process, getting the application up and running on a Windows-powered machine is a simple matter that will take very little of your time. Just download a 5.7MB installer, run it, and a few clicks later you will be done with the installation process.

The application’s interface is divided into two sections. To the left there’s a panel that allows you to preview and playback a video. To the right there’s a panel that displays video info and allows you to access the following functions: resize, output rate, output option, and effects. Even if you’re a novice, it won’t take long to figure out Video to GIF’s interface.

Using the application is a very simple three-step process.
Step 1 – load a video into the application. It must be mentioned here that the application provides support for AVI, AVM, AVS, MPG, MPEG, M1V, MP2, DAT, WMV, WM, ASF, VOB, DVR-MS, RM, RMVB, FLV, MOV, MP3, 3GP, MKV, OGM, TS, TP, IFO, and NSV files.
Step 2 – if you want to, you can play with a few options: resize the output, select the output rate, add an effect, select to convert just part of the video.
Step 3 – choose where to save the GIF animation and let the application do its job.

Please note that the trial version of Video to GIF will put a watermark on the output.
