PicGIF

PicGIF is a cool app for Mac that makes creating GIF animations super easy! You can use GIFs to share stories in a fun, quick way. For instance, instead of writing a long post about your vacation, just combine some photos into a GIF and share it in seconds.

Importing Your Photos

With PicGIF, you can import your own photo collections or even grab slides from video files. It works with tons of image formats like JPEG, TIFF, BMP, PNG, TGA, RAW, and more. Plus, if you have videos in popular formats like MOV, MPEG, MP4, M4V, 3GP, or AVI—no problem! You can mix all these file types together in the same project.

Getting Started with PicGIF

To kick things off, you'll want to adjust the canvas size and set the orientation of your images (landscape or portrait). Don't forget to choose the canvas fill mode and background color! You can also play around with the frame delay and slide order to get everything just right.

Add Some Flair!

Want to add captions? PicGIF lets you do that too! You can quickly customize the text by changing the font style, size, alignment, outline or shadow. And if you're worried about how it looks as you go along? No worries! There’s a built-in preview option so you can see how everything comes together before finalizing.

Sharing Your GIFs

If you're happy with your creation (and we think you will be!), you can export your project as a GIF file. Sharing is easy too—you can send it via email or through iMessage. The best part is that it automatically exports and sends it to those apps for you!

A Quick Note on Limitations

In summary, PicGIF is fantastic for making GIF images quickly. Just keep in mind that while it's powerful, it has its limits: you can only process up to 300 images at once and there aren’t options for batch management.

If you're ready to start creating awesome GIFs yourself with PicGIF, dive right in!
