It's our pleasure to launch with such a great community, gather all feedback, and announce the first video augmenter of it's kind. Grab any video you can think of (Facebook, Twitter, Vine, Instagram, World Star HipHop, YouTube, etc.), or an existing .gif, and drop it onto gifs.com. EDIT: and now any live video (think Facebook live, Youtube live, Periscope, Twitch, etc.) You'll be able to create awesome memes, impress your friends, edit videos, all in the blink of an eye. We can't wait to see what you'll create! --- want to drop a line? I'm @ rory@gifs.com, and we'll all be here all day :)

impressive! A feature to insert credits to the author of the video would be great.
Jim Canto
@paulodef Smart suggestion.
Rory O'Reilly
@paulodef @jimcanto Totally agree! Actually, if you use a youtube video it's automagic! There's even a "watch full video" button, where when you click it, it starts playing the YT video automatically, at the time stamp of the clip you made. We call it the gifs player We should definitely add support (at least in linking back) to the original content, and we will! Thank you for the suggestion :)

@rorybro this is amazing! Needed it like yesterday! Can't wait to sit back and play with it!
Rory O'Reilly
@kausmukherjee Thanks so much for the kind words. Makes all of us here @ gifs smile :')
Ryan Hoover
Nice work, @rorybro and team. Super impressed with how smooth the GIF-creation process is in the browser. GIFs are usually awkward and slow to manage. I made this GIF of Bieber rolling down a hill via this YouTube video (but you can also use videos from Vine and Instagram):
Rory O'Reilly
@rrhoover Ryan, thanks so much for the Hunt! Facebook videos, twitter videos, existing gifs, heck, even world star hip hop videos! The gifs.com team can't wait to see what everyone will make.
Niv Dror
The URL is GIFs.com 👏👏 This is soooo cool I made GIF
Rory O'Reilly
@nivo0o0 Your comment is cracking me up aha. Also, I love in your twitter bio that you say you make gifs professionally. Any chance you want to see something not yet live on gifs.com ?
Niv Dror
@rorybro yes! please email me first name @producthunt.com or DM on Twitter :)
Rory O'Reilly
@nivo0o0 @producthunt Will do! You're the best <3.
Ryan Hoover
@rorybro haha, part of @nivo0o0's job description is "GIF producer" basically. On a related note: how did you get the domain gifs.com!? 😱
Jim Canto
@nivo0o0 Secrets don't make friends. 😤😆 @rorybro @producthunt

This is seriously going to revolutionize, and create, so many new Reddit communities. Literally nothing like this exists on the market, crazy stuff guys. I thank you, the world thanks you, but most importantly... The internet thanks you.
Rory O'Reilly
@jesserank Jesse, you're the best - thank you for the kind words. @ Gifs.com we're all a huge fan of wasted gifs, and in the sidebar on that subreddit, it actually says We still have a little ways to go to make the perfect wasted gif, but adding text to gifs, cropping gifs, timing effects, uploading crazy things and timing them perfectly -it's all there. In our beta trials we're seeing people use them in ways I would have never thought of. For example, a close brother to wasted gifs is busted gifs: We're looking forward to seeing how everyone will tweak memes, create new trends, and augment videos :').

I've just created my first gif ever! I'm actually working on my Kickstarter campaign page and you guys are making my job A LOT easier. Thanks!!
Rory O'Reilly
@bagel_labs Dave, we all love these comments (and also great gif btw!). We make a .webm, and .mp4 if that fits your fancy (just changing the extension will show em'). Let us know if there's anything we can do to make your job even easier! Much love.
Eric Nakagawa
@bagel_labs Whoa, I want this for body measurement!
Rory O'Reilly
@ericnakagawa @bagel_labs wait you're actually so right. I was looking at custom jeans/shirts the other day (just curious), and had no idea where to even start and stopped looking. These sites need to ship me this measuring tool ;).
Dave Byun
@ericnakagawa I really wouldn't want to advertise my project on RoryBro's PH page but we will be launching soon too! :) @rorybro I will make sure to add you and Gifs.com to our campaign's thank you list for making my job so much easier ;)
Rory O'Reilly
@bagel_labs @ericnakagawa ahhh that's so sweet of you :'). Please ping me too so I can grab one, if possible!

Rory O'Reilly
@gabrielreynard Thank you Gabriel! :D
Eric Nakagawa
Rory and his team have built the BEST gif creator on the internet. Trust me, I know gifs.
Rory O'Reilly
@ericnakagawa Ahhh coming from the founder of cheezburger this is big <3. Thank you Eric :'). Also pumping out .webms and .mp4s too for the video crowd :D. The transcoding is crazy, and everyone can use it with our API!
Marc Littlemore
Absolutely love this! The editor is intuitive and simple to use. Nice one @RoryBro.
Rory O'Reilly
@marclittlemore Thank you Marc! Gotta give all the love to the gifs.com team :'). They've done some crazy stuff with transcoding to make everything super duper fast (even with mp4s/webms!).
Marc Littlemore
@rorybro It's definitely a great interface. One enhancement I'd like to see (when you get the chance!) - I'd like to be able to see the end frame when I change the end length marker. Doesn't look like it does that at the moment. Cheers!
Rory O'Reilly
@marclittlemore Marc - 100%. This will be up within the next 2 weeks! Thank you :D.
Sydney Liu
Congrats @RoryBro! Been using this product since 6 months back and have LOVED it. Fantastic product. Whenever I needed a YouTube video converted. The new editor looks amazing. Is there any control over the file size and resolution? I remember the resolution being a bit lower than I liked when I used it previously. Congratulations! I'm sure the community will love the product as much as I have :D
Rory O'Reilly
@sydney_liu_sl Sydney thanks so much for the comment! A few cool things now - you can do almost any video (not just youtube! Facebook, twitter, instagra, etc. etc.) on gifs.com- and if you're searching for a YT video, you can do so directly on gifs.com. Right now there's no control on file size and resolution - although this is slotted for next month! The output on our site is actually a .webm, .mp4, and .gif, all transcoded simultaneously and under 10seconds (including the .jpg preview, effects added, etc.)The .webms and .mp4s are quite high quality, and the .gif is, well about average .gif quality. We pride ourselves on being one of if not the fastest transcoders out there for webms/gifs/mp4s. In our next update, we're looking to do the .gifs asynchronously, displaying a fair .gif quality fast, and then generating a HD copy in the background.
