Create your custom GIF and Add to DEV articles! ๐Ÿค“ Convert Video ๐Ÿ“น file to GIF (FREE) ๐Ÿ‘ (with video demo)

Sharing GIFs is an awesome way to show your work. If we want to show a little demo, report a bug or share any fun thing we really like GIFs ๐Ÿ˜Š

We, the writers/authors, love to add cool GIFs on our article. Or sometimes we just want to share on Twitter/Facebook/LinkedIn.

There are a few paid tools which help to do that. But of course, we, developers can use Terminal and FFMPEG to make our own GIFs free ๐Ÿ‘

So, I am showing a really easy to create GIFs from a video.

We can create any screencast video and can just convert that to GIFs, just from our Terminal! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

We can convert MP4 /AVI etc file type to GIF.

I have used MacOS for this demo.

Cheers!
