Nov 15, 2016 While the Preview app lets you view almost all types of images on your Mac, the one image format that it cannot handle properly is GIF. GIF images are usually made up of multiple images (often called frames), and they are seen as an animation when these frames in the image change. Apr 07, 2017 Video GIF Creator is the complete solution for converting videos and images to animated GIFs. Designed to satisfy the needs of both casual users and professional web designers and featuring an impressive set of editing options, Video GIF Creator gives you unlimited creative freedom when it comes to generating animated GIF images.
Preview User Guide
An animated GIF is a graphics file that shows a short animation. In Preview, you can look at each frame in the animation as an individual still image.
Convert Video To Gif Mac
In the Preview app on your Mac, open the animated GIF.
Choose View > Thumbnails (if thumbnails aren’t already showing).
To show or hide the frames in the animation, click the disclosure triangle next to the file’s name in the sidebar.
You can use Quick Look to view an animated GIF file by selecting it in Finder, then pressing the Space bar.
