gifify is a Node.js CLI tool and library that converts video files into optimized animated GIFs, with options for trimming, resizing, fps, colors, compression, subtitles, and text overlays. It works via FFmpeg, ImageMagick, and giflossy, supports stdin/stdout streams, and requires no temp files.
Use cases
- convert an mp4 video to an animated gif
- extract a 5-second gif clip from the middle of a movie
- create optimized gifs from screencasts
- burn subtitles or text onto a gif
- resize and compress gifs for the web
- programmatically convert video to gif in a node script
When to choose
- you need a fast, unix-friendly command-line video-to-gif converter
- you want fine control over fps, colors, compression, and trimming
- you want to convert video to gif from Node.js code or shell pipelines
When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained or supported tool (the author has abandoned it)
- you want a GUI-based gif converter
- you need modern gif generation features beyond what ffmpeg/imagemagick/gifsicle offer
