How to Make a GIF From Youtube Video Online
You can create GIFs from a YouTube video online using VEED.IO and Flixier. These are two online GIF creators for YouTube. Let's take a look at how to create a GIF from a YouTube video using VEED.IO and Flixier.
Method 1. VEED.IO
Here's how to make a GIF online from YouTube using VEED.IO:
Step 1. First, download the YouTube video.
Step 2. Now, open your browser and go to VEED.IO.
Step 3. Click on "Upload Your YouTube Video" head over to the location where you downloaded the YouTube video, and then select the YouTube video to open it in VEED.IO.
Step 4. Allow a few seconds for it to upload. Once it's uploaded, go to the timeline and trim your video using the side layers, then select the portion of the video you want to turn into a GIF.
Step 5. Once you have selected the portion of the video that you want to save as a GIF, click on "Settings" on the left window.
Step 6. Click on the "Size" dropdown menu and select "Square."
Step 7. Now, click on the video, and you will see a new settings menu opening on the left window. Under "Transformations," select "Fill the canvas."
Step 8. You can also add texts by clicking on "Text" on the left window. Select the font and add your text. You can also change the color and do so much more.
Step 9. If you want the text file to appear at a certain time in the video, click the text file from the timeline and drag it to where you want it to begin. You can also change how much longer the text stays there by dragging the side layers of it, just like how you trimmed the video.
Step 10. Now, to save the video file as a GIF, click on the "Export" button on the top right corner of your window, pick your render settings, and click on "Export video."
Step 11. After the video has been rendered. Click on the "Download" button and select "Download GIF" to save it as a GIF file.
So this is how you make a GIF of a YouTube video using VEED.IO. Now, let's also see how you can make a GIF from a YouTube video using Flixier.
Method 2. Flixier
Turning the YouTube video into a GIF with Flixier is similar to how we did it with VEED.IO, but there are a few differences.
Without holding you any longer, here's how to turn your Youtube video into a GIF using Flixier:
Step 1. Open Flixier and upload the YouTube video that you have downloaded.
Step 2. Now drag and drop the video from the media library to the timeline.
Step 3. Either using the "Cut" feature or dragging the ends of the video, select the portion of the video that you want to save as a GIF.
Step 4. Now, to add text, transitions, effects, and more, you can view the options on the left-side menu. Click on "Text" if you want to add texts, or on "Transitions" if you want to add transitions, and vice versa.
Step 5. Once you are done, click on "Export" and then under "Save file as," select "GIF."
Step 6. You can also change the framerate of the GIF file here.
Step 7. Once finished, click on "Export and download."
