Software Reviews and Criticism


  • By Thomas Fagaura

    Five stars from an editor

    So I was asked to design a ad in a gif format so I loaded into Final Cut Pro X created the animation then attempted to use multiple online tools and the colors were terrible (I take extra steps in my editing to make sure the colors are perfect) so I just didnt know if it was going to be possible to use an automated process to create my gif then I found this app colors looked amazing! Very easy to use, drag and drop the file and your set. Best gif converter I have ever used.

    Superb

    I've been looking for a simple high quality gif creator for sometime now. Gifski is simply the best when it comes to exporting high quality gifs bar none, for free. I do wish there was an option to crop your videos manually, more resolutions to play with and ability to adjust different parts of your video for export. Maybe a future update? Thanks for this folks.

    Perfect

    Does exactly what it needs to. Dead simple. Developer also added the feature to trim the video within the app. Such a smooth experience to use this. Honestly great app, I was looking for something free but after trying I would donate some money if the option was available.

    Great at making GIFs. Not entirely smooth.

    I give it a 3 star not for its main function. For the functionality of making a GIF, it is great. However, I do not want to "drop a video". I want to click on an upload video button that then prompts me to browse for the video. I would also love a library of my previous gifs. That way, rather than being a GIF tool, it would be an all in one GIF hub. 3 stars rather than 4 because I'm hoping to get gifski's attention ;)

    Simple and superb

    I make a lot of short screen recodings for my job that I need to turn into GIFs. I've tried a few apps, both free and paid. All of them were clunky, overly complex, slow, or produced ugly GIFs—or all of the above. Gifski is a breath of fresh air. It fits my workflow perfectly, it's fast, it offers just the configuration options I need, and the quality of the GIFs it produces is, somehow, almost as good as the original videos. And it's free! I can't recommend it enough, and I'll definitely be donating some money to support its development.
