Convert Youtube Videos to GIF by Adding “GIF” To The URL

Do you want to transport a file from Youtube to GIF( Graphic Interchange Format) without paying downloading dues to online converters as well as middlemen apps? Yes, you could, and you wouldn’t need a textbook of programs for this. Here is just one honest trick. Simply insert “GIF” to the start of the URL preceding “www.” and followed by “youtube.com” and hit enter.


So, for example, you’d turn:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

into:

www.gifyoutube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

and hit enter



It is as simple as it is as funny!

Then, it is sadly worth resounding that this is not officially a Youtube tool yet, however sumptuous the need for them to develop one. With this implication, it infers that it might not work till the sun finally choose to go on retirement- it isn’t gonna be forever. We should be expecting any rude interruptions especially when YouTube’s legal team gets their hairs standing and worried about the rape of their trademark right in the domain. This is a side project by the team responsible for the super GIF-centric messaging app Glyphic.

AGAIN: With the present edition, the start time and GIF duration is your son to control, though you can’t get finitely precise about it. If you prefer frame-by-frame control for that absolutely time suited loopage, you’ll then add the services of stuffs like GIFBrewery or GIFGrabber.
