I haven't tried this yet but I'm a fan of CloudApp when crafting glorious GIFs. This app seems to provide a bit more functionality and customization of GIFs though.

@rrhoover Interesting - it only creates GIFs of your desktop though right, and not any arbitrary input?

I use Gifrocket to convert screencast to gif. It always give me problem for longer video (perhaps more than 4 secs?). I'll be totally sold to this app if it can handle that. Will try one day :)

I've tried a lot of GIF making apps in my day, but invariably the experience is frustrating and the quality lacking. GIFMaker was built to provide a simple experience around the web's most popular media format. It's is a simple Mac status bar application, meaning it will always be ready for use. Just drag and drop a video or a series of images, and you're done. You can optionally specify quality, time range, and frame rate. I plan to add support for remote URLs, but for now, it's only local files. It's particularly useful for developers or product makers who want to create a demo animation of how their product works. Let me know what you think!

@bitario nice work - I really appreciate the simplicity of status bar applications. No need for an elaborate UI to just get the job done.

@front9tech yup, exactly. They're far more convenient and always ready.

Just bought and made one. Super easy. Thanks, it is definitely worth 99 cents to have the ability to make quick GIF files.

I paid for it and tried it. It only providing converting images or video into GIF. However, if this is the case, I can use this free service: http://gifmaker.me/. I wonder what's the difference.

@trantorliu the difference is in the experience. This runs locally on your machine, so everything is going to be faster and more efficient. You don't have to upload your files to a 3rd party, which may or may not store your files on their server. Here, you own the app that makes the GIF, whereas with any web service, you're just a user of their service, and the experience is slow, messy, and possibly insecure.

It's incredible how far the GIF format has come from spinning "Under Construction" signs on websites to convenient ways to showcase new features or emotions. I use GifBrewery on the Mac right now but this seems like taking that a step further with intelligent default settings to generate GIFs quickly. Bravo.

Found this product here on PH - bought it and have relied on it probably a dozen times since. It's the only gif maker I've ever used so I can't compare it to others. It's super easy to use and works better than I'd hoped... would definitely recommend it.
