There will be something to it, internet conversations have really changed a lot and today, in addition to texts, they are made up of Emoji smileys, picture mewe or GIF animations that perfectly express your feelings. GIFy are not necessarily only used in Messenger, but you can use them almost anywhere. Even in the articles.
But what if you want to create your own GIF? This used to require some pretty complicated tools, but now all it takes is a free app Gif Brewery, which is available for free in the Mac App Store. To create a GIF, you first need to upload a video to the application, which you do using the classic drag-n-drop method, but you can also use the classic Finder search method.

I admit that I rarely crop the image, but I change the dimensions often, simply because I don't want the GIF to be 100 MB and unnecessarily high resolution (4K, 1080p). I set it upi width most often to 480 pixels while keeping the aspect ratio.

In the program, you can set the number of frames, which depends on the smoothness of the animation, the speed of the animation, the repetition options and optimize the colors if you want to optimize your animation as much as possible. When you're done, you can have the animation generated and saved either locally or ji directly upload to Gfycat.
