PicGIF 4+

I do like this app for creating gifs from videos. When you work with this app, you’d see every single frame on the tray at the bottom of your picGIF screen. you can easily delete any you chose and you can add at liberty. It does have a few shortcomings in my estimation, but bear in mind, that any of those shortcomings is easily addressed by any number of online GIF-editing programs, (where you, however, won’t find the quality of picGIF at the same time). For example, picGIF only offers certain predetermined sizes for the GIFs you want to create. Once you create a GIF with picGIf, just go to one of those on-line GIFF applications and crop the white borders that are left when you make a GIF with picGIF. Along the same lines, while picGIF does give the dimensions available for the creation of the GIF you want to create, it doesn’t give the actual size of the resulting file which you will see will be formatted with (probably) unwanted borders, so you have to create the gif first
and use your Finder (in mac) or Windows to see how large the file is that you’ve created. But, these are easy shortfalls to get around. Over all, it’s a fine choice.

It’s very easy to use. I’m only giviing 4 stars because it doesn’t allow you to cut/paste - slides, text, etc. I’m creating a GIF out of images. I need to fade text in and out. I could complete my project in a fraction of the time if the developer allowed me to cut and paste the text. Also…there are no coordinate properties on the text boxes that you drop on the slides. My animation will fade words in and out and the text needs to be positioned over the prior slides text. Having no X and Y coordinates makes this a pain.

I am loving all the features of this GIF making app. I tried a bunch of differnet ways to make gifs and was unhappy with them all. I know I can make them in Photoshop too, but this just makes it super efficient to throw someting together.

I am a Photographer and like to make basic GIFS from some of my client work. I feel like in comparison to some other reviewers, I just wanted a simple but intuitive platform and that is what this is. If I wanted to get more technical I would make these in Photoshop or alt Adobe Software. I have no complaints with what I can do with speed, fps, text and graphic overlays = perfect.
