GIF Maker - Video to GIF Maker Reviews

These aren’t gifs, they’re the digital equivalent of pictures from a carnival photo booth. That’s just my opinion, though. I downloaded this, hoping to make a looping gif, but I didn’t like the results. So I tried adjusting the speed at which the gif played. The highest setting, 3.0, was too fast. The one before, 2.5, was too slow (still choppy). And the one in between the two was just right. But that wasn’t an option, so I deleted GIFMaker and am looking elsewhere for making gifs. Long story short: GIFMaker didn’t give me what I wanted. But, to make nothing personal, I’m rating this three stars; average; meh. Maybe someone else will like GIFMaker for what it provides, but I just don’t see it.

This complete app for GIF. There are lots of options for creating amazing GIF. GIFMaker help me to create GIF from photos, Live Photo’s and videos. This GIF maker app allows me to customise my gif as I need. The new feature of preview of a gif is amazing. In next update I wish to get different text style to apply. The sharing option is perfect. I can share my gif to Facebook and my friends are amazed. All in all GIFMaker is perfect for creating amazing Gif.

I downloaded GIFMaker using my fingerprint as the OK to ”Purchase” the Free app. I opened GIFMaker and clicked on “Start making Gifs” which brought up another fingerprint purchase screen in GIFMaker . This screen said one month free trial then $9.99/ Mo after that. I tried taking a screens shot as I was going to email the Dev about this horrible practice as well as send to Apple. Well in taking the screenshot it OK’d the purchase and I was on the hook for the $9.99/ Mo. Even if I had only tried to get out of that screen I would’ve had to push the Home button. This is basically forcing people into actually purchasing GIFMaker and then if they want to get out of paying they then have to go throught the rigmarole of cancelling the subscription.

I will only give it a two starts out of five and this is why. I tried the free version and it was okay but the quality of the save gifs was terrible so decided to buy it for a month. However to my surprise the quality didn’t improve and they end up looking terrible and pixelated as the free version. I also wish you would have more fonts to choose from specially for people who are paying monthly. If you can fix those two in my opinion it would be a great app but I do agree the price is a bit high for what it does in that case I prefer to pay for photoshop and it’s the same price.

Stay very far away from GIFMaker! I had no idea GIFMaker would charge me after a trial period. Hell I didn’t know there was such a thing. Suddenly I see a monthly charge for $9.99 from iTunes on my bank statement. How in the hell does Farhana Kabir (GIFMaker ’s distributor/creator) price GIFMaker at that price range? And for an auto-renewed, monthly charge of $9.99?!?!?! Yeah, even a one-time charge for that much would be exorbitant, let alone a monthly payment. This ain’t Netflix buddy! You can keep your app. It’s not worth you money.

If you need to cancel an unexpected subscription like me:
Go to iTunes & App Store > Apple ID > View Apple ID > Subscriptions, then select GIFMaker you want to cancel a subscription to and follow the prompts.

It's five bucks. Just to get rid of the advertisements is worth five bucks. My initial experience with it was isn't if the free version. The advertisements were so obnoxious, that it was worth spending five bucks just to get rid of them.

After buying the program, I realized that it does not have a loop future. Basically, if you want to have a gift that's more than a few seconds, you need to add about 100 pictures. If I had done my due diligence, I would not buy it unless it had a loop feature.

Hopefully, the developer will read this and care enough about the future of this application to add a loop option.

It does not have a feature that allows you to sequence pictures once you have added them to the GIF. This basically means that if you for some reason get your pictures out of sequence, you have to start all over.

Again, hopefully, the developer will read this and care enough about the future of this application to add more editing tools beyond just filters.

The “gif” quality was very choppy like time lapse videos. Adjusting the speed did not help. The features in the trial were nothing extraordinary, very simple but easy to use. The downfall to it, in my opinion, is that unless you pay up after a few gifs you won’t be sharing what you make anymore. I would like an app that allows the basics but gives you the option to pay for the premium features rather than forcing you to pay to even use the basics. The trial run was not impressive enough to make me consider $9.99 a month. I will be looking elsewhere.

I only tested GIFMaker but for some reason the subscribe button was accidentally pressed (likely by my daughter). History of my app usage will show that I haven’t used GIFMaker at all other than sample a vid or two. I emailed support to reverse the accidental subscription but the only option is to send a comment. Sharing the comment I sent as a review so others can be aware. You will also need to go to your apple account to cancel the auto renewals. Will update this review with more advice once I hear back from the developer. Hopefully a reversal will be possible after they check my usage history (or lack thereof). Thanks

GIF Maker does for free what some other gif making apps charge to do. You can make gifs from a series of pictures, edit videos, take original pictures or record videos, change filters, add stickers, make it loop or rewind, etc etc etc. GIFMaker is great quality and offers so much! Thank you, developers!

I was using GIFMaker just fine for lie, 30 minutes..
It was pretty basic, not complicated at all, and got the job done well. Until it had given me the screen “you have ran out of free saves!” Meaning I can’t even make them anymore. (And I had made like 5, because 4 were tests.) This is the most obnoxious thing I’ve ever seen really. They are now FORCING me to get premium in order to actually use GIFMaker . Just disappointed. 😕

Honestly, it makes gifs are everything, and the speed dial is o k to say the least, but honestly the biggest issue for me is that you can only enter 5 photos into the gif and then it immediately sends you over to a purchase screen where you have to purchase something to even add more photos to the gif. And then right after you leave the purchase ad, it sends you straight into an ad, this is honestly annoying. I could go and download some other gif app and add more frames than this and get the exact outcome with no purchases.

GIFMaker started out really promising. It was really easy to use, and it offered a simple way to make high quality gifs for me to send to my friends. I made my first gif on GIFMaker a few days ago, and it was easy. The download was quick, and the quality was great. I decided to make a second one, and it told me I was out of free saves and I would have to subscribe (and pay money) to save more. So you’re telling me I only get ONE free gif, and then I have to pay??????? Totally ridiculous, and a shame since this was such a good app at the beginning. 😤😡

There’s way too big of a difference between the 2.5 speed and the 3.0 speed (It’s more like 2.5 and 6.0) and the 3.0 speed is pretty useless, unless you want a fast blobbed gif. When it does work, (sometimes GIFMaker likes to exit when I try to upload an video) it leaves a random white or black line on one of the edges. Plus it used to give you the option of downloading a video or a gif and now it doesn't (?). I like the effect when it does work but overall it could be way better. Also a lot of the 4 star reviews seem fake.

I just tried GIFMaker based on high ratings, but gave up trying the free version when it forced the uncropped original version of an already-cropped video without any cropping options. Then I did a trial of the paid version... completely different interface and options, and probably the most basic font option for meme making (Impact) is in the free version but not the paid version, which seems to only have “quirky” font options? Very disappointing user experience.

Uhhhh, the gif maker on this is awful, you can’t cut your video down it has to be edited how you want it before you bring it to GIFMaker. It literally is the blockiest GIF of all time like the photos are way separated so you don’t get a clear sense of movement.

Plus this thing did this auto subscription, which apparently is $9.99 per month so thanks to the person who said in their review how to cancel your subscription, luckily didn’t get charged because I saw their review.

I personally wouldn’t waste your time

I had to eliminate all my cards from apple pay just to stop GIFMaker from charging me. Even the terms of services has no information regarding cancelations. It seems they forgot to add that functionality for users.... dont know how to stop this.

I paid for the upgrade to remove ads, the watermark, and to access the stickers and crap, but the stickers and text aren't usable anyway because saving the gif distorts it anyway so all the spacing is off. Probably wouldn't care if was just sending gifs to my sister or whatever but I bought it as a design tool to use for my business and the amount of distortion is too much to be usable. Still cool with no text or stickers though.

GIFMaker was literally the best GIF app I have used by far, and it’s the first app that asks me to pay after just making a single GIF. Yep, that’s right.

Your first GIF is free. Then after making your second GIF, it’ll say you are out of free saves. Like, I don’t want to pay for an app that I’m probably not gonna use for the rest of my life.

I used GIFMaker for fun because I enjoyed making GIFS. But I can’t now because I have to pay apparently. Why do I have to pay after just making one GIF? At least have premium features or filters instead of limiting how many GIFS an individual can make.

That’s the best way of earning money on an app, not getting greedy and limiting how many GIFS I can make.

Listen to my advice and maybe I’ll leave a good review. But overall, it’s a good app. It has lots of potential. I love how easy it was making the GIFS. I just don’t like how I have to pay after making my first GIF.
