Firstly well look at GIPHY Capture, a free piece of software that you can download from the Mac App Store and which allows you to select a portion of your Mac display, record it and convert it into a GIF.

This is slightly more advanced, but lets you make GIFs from video files that you already have on your Mac.

The best part of GIPHY Capture is that its not exclusively for one service, such as YouTube - whatever you display on your Mac can be converted into a GIF extremely quickly and extremely easily.

Well show you how we made a GIF with a video of the notorious dress morphing from blue and black to white and gold.

Then all we had to do was click Start Recording to start creating the GIF.

You have a maximum of 30 seconds to use, but try to use as little as possible: GIF files can get quite big.

You can then resize your GIF to make the file smaller, trim it so its perfect and even generate a URL for it, ready to be shared.

Its important to note that once you quit the app, all unsaved GIFs will be discarded so make sure everything you need is saved before closing The end result, were sure youll agree, is pretty impressive.

But to create a GIF worthy of sharing you will want to follow our advice below.

You can quickly locate your Live Photos in the Live Photos album.

There are a number of ways in which you could do this, the simplest would probably be to share via AirDrop and drag it into Photos.

You can trim the beginning or end off the Live Photo here if you moved the camera at the beginning or end the shot.

Loop will play the animation over and over again from beginning to end.

Bounce will play the animation forwards, backwards and so on.

You can share your GIF via email - the shared file will be delivered to the recipient in the GIF format.

You can also simply drag and drop the GIF from Photos onto your Desktop.

Note that when we shared via Messages it became a.mov file.

If you share the gif from your Desktop after dragging it there you will be able to share it as a GIF on Facebook.

Earlier in 2015 Imgur launched a new service that makes it easy to turn online video into GIFs, and we think its fantastic.
