GIFs, the final frontier. These are the voyages of Imgur’s Video to GIF tool. Its continuing mission: to convert awesome videos to GIF, to seek out top conversion speeds, to boldly GIF like no post has GIFfed before!
As of today, uploading huge GIFs up to 200MB as well as converting video to GIF will complete faster than you can say, “Make it so.” We’ve not only improved upload speed, but reduced friction in conversion and improved stability of GIF upload as well.
Let’s get some examples on screen.
Here we’ve taken a 2-hour long video link and converted it to a 15-sec GIF in no time flat.
Now compared to the previous version. You could finish your cup of Earl Grey tea in that dreadful waiting period.
Head to imgur.com/vidgif to try it out.
A wise captain once said, “Make now always the most precious time. Now will never come again.” We take this honorable advice to heart, which is why we’ve decided not to settle for the frustrating upload and conversion speeds of large GIF on Imgur, and start setting our sights on maximum warp.
