VideoGIF
VideoGIF is a utility for macOS that converts video clips into animated GIF files. It is used by content creators, social media managers, and casual users who want to extract short looping sequences from video files and share them as GIFs on social platforms, in chat applications, or on websites. The app typically allows users to specify a time range within a video, adjust playback speed, set output quality and file size constraints, and preview the result before exporting.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find current information about VideoGIF's Apple Silicon support status. Based on the bundle ID com.pearlmountainsoft.VideoGIF, this appears to be from Pearl Mountain Software, a publisher known for consumer utilities. To establish whether a native Apple Silicon build is available or planned, we recommend contacting the developer directly or visiting their support page to ask about native M-series Mac support. If the app has not been updated to run natively, it will stop working when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). As an alternative, free and open-source tools like FFmpeg (via command line or graphical frontends like HandBrake) can convert video to GIF format and run natively on Apple Silicon, although they require more technical setup. The Mac App Store also has several GIF conversion tools with confirmed Apple Silicon support if you prefer a graphical interface.
