The animated gif maker is able to load Quicktime movies of any size. It displays the movies in its interface with the option to navigate frame by frame. The option to play the movie is missing in the application but that’s not that problematic. It is possible to draw a rectangle on the screen to pick part of the screen that should be turned into an animated gif.

The user can use a slider or the frame by frame navigation to grab frames of the movie. The process is unfortunately complicated as there is no way to grab multiple frames at once which means that it is necessary to click on the Grab button for every frame that should be added to the animated gif.

The means to pick a frame range would add much comfort to the software program. Once all frames have been selected the Save button will save the animated gif on the computer system. The top bar provides access to two options that allow to change the size of the animated gif and the display mode. The size has to be entered in pixels, for example 80×60 or 400×300.

Mov2Gif is easy to use and everyone should be able to create animated gifs with ease. It could use some comfort but this will probably only bother users who create animated gifs with it regularly.
