New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/19/2013 -- Animated GIFs are a source of instant amusement, and as a result they are viewed hundreds of millions of times across the internet and shared by individuals with their friends and colleagues. Because of their popularity many people wish to know how to make GIFs, only to find they are only available through the use of specialist software. Media Freeware has now addressed this need with a new, free to use Video to GIF converter that allows users to make GIF files quickly and easily to share with their friends and the world.

The new Video to GIF software requires users merely to import the video source file they wish to use and then extract the portion they wish to export as an animated GIF. The software also asks if users wish to resize the video to make a smaller final file that quicker to load and share online before taking care of the rest.

The software takes just moments to download and install and users can begin creating GIFs in minutes.

A spokesperson for Media Freeware explained, “Animated GIFs are incredibly popular because they provide a way of sharing novel and amusing visual information in a way that can be embedded into posts to reflect someone’s mood or simply to amuse the other people viewing the site. The animations are often expressions or mini-narratives that surprise us in the same way that jokes do, by providing an unexpected end to an established premise. Our software allows everyone to get in on the action without investing in expensive video editing software, and means people can immortalize their videos as GIFs without any hassle.”
