About Gifski
Convert videos to high-quality GIFs on your Mac This is a macOS app for the gifski encoder, which converts videos to GIF animations using pngquant's fancy features for efficient cross-frame palettes and temporal dithering. It produces animated GIFs that use thousands of colors per frame and up to 50 FPS (useful for showing off design work on Dribbble).
