The Free Video to GIF Converter is a very useful utility for those who want to convert a video file, or a segment of a video file to the GIF image format.
The program has a very low memory consumption and the requirements for it are also very low. The interface design is well done and intuitive, all the features are on the main window and more features will appear after step 1 is completed.
The whole converting process is made up of 2 steps which are well differentiated. In step 1 you upload a video file and if it is a large file you can select the exact segment you want to turn into a GIF. The width and height can also be modified to fit your needs and you can choose the frame rate. There is no video preview tool so you have to check the video file in advance with a media player.
In step 2 you are shown the number of frames created in the chosen segment or video file. Frames can be deleted and the play speed can be modified. There are only 2 options for quality : Normal and Excellent. The final file size is not shown along with the quality and the only way to check it is after you've already finished making GIF.
Overall the Free Video to GIF Converter is a very useful and easy to use program that delivers on its purpose.
