How to Extract A GIF File From A Video

Bet you didn’t know that you could turn a portion of a YouTube video into a GIF file. Here’s how. Here’s an example of a video I want to create a GIF from.

All I have to do is add the word “gif” before the word "YouTube".This will take me to a third party service where I can pick the starting time, length of GIF, title and caption to use for the GIF file I want to create.

Alternatively, just go to the gifyoutube site, then paste a link to the Youtube video you want to give the GIF treatment to. Customize the section you want to be taken out, then click CREATE GIF to get your file.
