There’s also integration with Gfycat’s online service if you want to export and upload your GIFs, though you can always just save them directly to your Mac. Sure, there are other ways to make GIFs, including easier solutions on iOS, but GIF Brewery lends a lot of power and capability that you won’t find elsewhere. You can even add multiple video clips and combine them into a single GIF or add filters on top of your clip, for those of you who have graduated from the Advanced GIF Making seminar. GIF Brewery supports multiple overlays that can fade in and out, control over frame count and frame rate, and, of course, add text or even stickers. You can easily set the start and end points of your clip, resize it or crop it to your specifications, and, choose whether the clip loops, goes in reverse, or bounces. But it also adds a whole boatload of other features to let you turn that video into the GIF… of your dreams. Which, in and of itself, might be enough. GIF Brewery lets you take any video and convert into a GIF. And for that you need the right tool, which, on the Mac, is unquestionably Gfycat’s GIF Brewery. While there are plenty of ways to find the perfect GIF for any situation (Google searching, Giphy, Tenor, and other similar services), what happens when you can’t find the exact GIF you’re searching for? Obviously, you need to make it yourself.
Our life would be poorer without the animated GIF, for sure. Some might say that between them and emoji we’ve lost the art of communicating in plain text, but I think it simply adds a whole new dimension to the way human beings interact.
Ahhh, where would the Internet be without GIFs? Well, Twitter would hardly bearable for one thing.
