Animated gifs are largely a thing of the past. They do not play an important role anymore in today’s web design but are still popular in forums and other message boards. GifSoup is an online service that is offering to convert a Youtube video into an animated gif. All it takes is to paste a Youtube video url in the form at the website. The service will then automatically download the Youtube video.
A preview of the video with the option to select a starting and end time for the animated gif are presented to the user afterwards. The service currently offeres to create animated gifs that have a maximum size of 10 seconds. It is up to the user to select the starting and end time for the animated gif there.
A preview of the selected time frame is available after making the selection. This makes it easier to correct the start or end of the video if necessary. A click on the finish button will save the video on the Gif Soup website. The user then has the opportunity to download the animated gif in different sizes to the local computer system or use the code to embed it into websites directly. A watermark with the url of the service will always be displayed in the lower right corner of the video.
Users who prefer more configuration options and an animated gif without a watermark can use image editors like Gimp or Adobe Photoshop to do the same. They offer more options but are more complicated to use. GifSoup offers an easy way to create animated gifs from Youtube videos in no time.

Thank you, I’m having fun with this. =)
That’s great, but is there something similar without the disturbing gifsoup.com ad in the lower right corner? Or even better with your own text? This would be awesome.
