Create animated GIFS from videos, it is now easy with imgur

The famous image storage platform has just lifted the veil on the future best friend of Community Managers.

Those who have experienced the web 90s certainly know, but the animated GIF is far from new. However, life being what it is, it disappeared from the surface of the canvas for several years before returning in full force with social networks.

A rapid shift on Facebook or Tumblr will confirm, but the animated GIF is again very fashionable for some time and it even takes is a simple search to find dozens and dozens of specialized sites.


Head include Giphy or even reaction GIFS , but there are many others.

But here, you may have wanted to create your own animations. If this is the case, then the last tool presented by imgur should interest you. And for good reason since it will allow you to create clips from videos hosted on YouTube or Vimeo same.


How does it work?

Above all, you will need ... a video. In my case, I chose this excellent excerpt from Season 4 of Game of Thrones, an extract that focuses on Tyrion : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvX4k\_3Cmvs .

So I copied the address of the video before to travel to this page and paste it in the field dedicated to this purpose.

From there, the service will display a minimalist editor and all you have to do, ultimately, it will choose the start and end of the sequence you want. Then you can add text by clicking on the appropriate area and there will not be that you click the "Create GIF" to complete the operation.

There, well it will wait for a few seconds, and then end up with a beautiful animated GIF we can download or share.

Not everyone will be no utility, it's true, but I must admit that it works pretty well. His only fault, ultimately, is that the clips are limited to 15 seconds. At the same time, it is easy to understand because sometimes animated GIFs weigh heavy. This one lasts only a few seconds, it exceeds 10 MB, it is to say.
